same as me?

It's that old "what's correct" vs. "what's said."

You will hear "same... as me" most of the time.

"Same as I" will sound old and stuffy to some (and like a breath of fresh, gramatically correct air to others).

If your teeth hurt at the wrongness of "same as me" but don't want to be stuffy, then you can say "the same programe that I am in." (The final "in" is optional.)

Yes I agree GG, but I would also add that although the final 'in' is optional, it does manifest itself as two slightly different spoken versions, namely:

"...that I am." with the final stress on 'am',

or

"... that I'm in." with a contracted verb 'to be' and the final stress on 'in'

Would you agree Barbara?

Are you talking about intonation? As you'll note, I did say that the "in" was optional.

I'm sitting here at my desk saying "That I'm IN" "That I'M in" over and over, trying to see which I'd be more likely to say. (And honestly, I'd say "as me.")

But of the two grammatically correct ones, I'd stress I'M. I want to show the connection to me.

I think we agree on this Barbara...

What I was trying to say was that I don't think many people would actually say:

"... I am in." but rather the contracted form "I'm in."

Or without "in" we should say "that I am" and not "that I'm"

However, if you stress "I'M" more you still have to stress "IN" as it's the final word in the sentence anyway.

That's th

Grammar Geek"Same as I" will sound old and stuffy to some (and like a breath of fresh, gramatically correct air to others).

GG, you are a poet!
