"You're a louse!" "I?" (Personal Pronouns vs Objective Personal Pronouns) While reading Atlas Shrugged I've come across a number of conversations similar to the following:     Person 1: "You're a louse!"      Person 2: "I?"   This sounds very odd to me, but I can see how 'I?' could be short for 'I am?'.  I've looked around trying to discover if this is grammatically correct and I've learned about personal pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) and objective personal pronouns (me, you, him, her, it, us, them).  Personally, I think the conversation sounds much better like this:     Person 1: "You're a louse!"      Person 2: "Me?"   ...with the reasoning that this:     Person 1: "He's a louse!"      Person 2: "Him?"   sounds much better than this:     Person 1: "He's a louse!"      Person 2: "He?"   Therefore I think the correct grammar in this scenario is the objective personal pronoun (me) rather than the personal pronoun (I). I'm not sure, though.  Can anyone give me some concrete rules about this scenario?
Which one is correct to say: "It's me" or "It's I"? I was taught at school that the following expression is not grammatically correct:  Who is there? It's me.  The correct one is:  Who is there? It's I.  Can you let me know which one is accurate?
I am a Pakistani national and need to transit through Dubai International Airport (DXB).  I am not planning to leave the airport and both of my flights (arrival and departure) are from Terminal 3.  I am pretty sure that I do not need transit visa at the DXB, however it is no where mentioned on any of their official website.   Can anyone please provide me such a link stating that transiting without leaving the airport does not require visa at DXB, as I need to use this link as a proof for a visa application?  Thanks I need to concatenate two String arrays in Java.  void f(String[] first, String[] second) {     String[] both = ??? }   What is the easiest way to do this? I found the below in  web-site:     We use much in questions and negative clauses to talk about degrees of something.      We don’t use much in affirmative clauses.   Also, it the same web-site, I found the following:     She runs much faster than he does.    also I noticed that some web-sites use much with affirmative clauses:     May we all be having this much fun and getting this much exercise when we're his age!    Is it Okey to use much in affirmative clauses? If yes, when can we use it? and what is the rules?  Update:  Here is another example on how often the word "much" is used  in informal style:     After much consideration I will NOT be performing at the Inauguration with my improv group Capitol Hill-arious Relating the union of the power set of a set to the set itself Beamer: TOC only once before sections with subsections My presentation consist of multiple sections. Some sections consist of subsection and some not. I want beamer to display the TOC before every subsection and before every section which consists of no other subsection.  Currently, i write in the preamble:  \AtBeginSection[] {     \begin{frame}&lt;beamer&gt;     \frametitle{Inhalt} %     \tableofcontents[currentsection]       \end{frame} }  \AtBeginSubsection[] {     \begin{frame}&lt;beamer&gt;     \frametitle{Inhalt} %     \tableofcontents[currentsubsection]       \end{frame} }   As a result, if a section consist of subsecitons beamer displays the TOC twice before the first subsection in a section, one time for the section and one time for the subsection. That is ugly in my opinion. What can i do? Even/Odd Binomial Coefficients I was wondering if there's a nice general solution for the following problem:  How many numbers in the $n^\text{th}$ row of Pascal's triangle are even? How many are odd? Prove that any conjugate of $a$ has the same order as $a$. I am trying to prove that any conjugate of $a$ has the same order as $a$.  Let $G$ be a group and let $a \in G$.  An element $b \in G$ is called a conjugate of $a$ if $b=xax^{-1}$.  My professor gave us a hint.  Prove $a^k=e$ iff $b^k=e$ for all $k \in \mathbb{Z}$ implies $o(a) = o(b)$.  My first move is to $b^k = (xax^{-1})^k = (x^{-1})^ka^kx^k = (x^{-1})^kex^k = (x^{-1})^kx^k=x^{-k+k}=x^0$  I am not sure that I am doing this correctly?  I am trying to get $b^k=e$.  However when I raise $(xax^{-1})^k$, I am not sure if I what I have done is correct?  I am kind of confused here. Why can a function modify some arguments as perceived by the caller, but not others? I'm trying to understand Python's approach to variable scope. In this example, why is f() able to alter the value of x, as perceived within main(), but not the value of n?  def f(n, x):     n = 2     x.append(4)     print('In f():', n, x)  def main():     n = 1     x = [0,1,2,3]     print('Before:', n, x)     f(n, x)     print('After: ', n, x)  main()   Output:  Before: 1 [0, 1, 2, 3] In f(): 2 [0, 1, 2, 3, 4] After:  1 [0, 1, 2, 3, 4] Is it possible to tell Google's Webmaster Tools that our site hosted on www. has moved to a sub folder, sub domain or a new domain with sub folder?

I have the following code in my theme's archive.php:  &lt;?php the_archive_title( '&lt;h1 class="page-title"&gt;', '&lt;/h1&gt;' ); ?&gt;   This gives me titles like "Category: Russia", "Tag: America", "Author: John".  I would like to remove the "Category:", "Tag:" and "Author:" part and just display the category, tag and author names.  Does anyone know how to accomplish this?  Thank you.

What is the term for replacing a name or brand with a funny pejorative / sardonicism? What is the term for when one replaces a well-known name [(Proper) noun, company, brand, etc.] with one that tries to be funny yet pejoratively descriptive, different but similar enough that one's audience can likely understand the replacement?  For example: Whole Foods ===> Whole Paycheck; Comcast ==> Scumcast; Starbucks ==> Charbucks; Kinko's == Stinko's; eBay ==> Evil Bay  I tend to use sobriquet don't believe this explicitly implies funny as well as insulting. Moniker again is close but not specific to the above description.  There is a similar question which proposes tortonym and malapropsim, but it does not seem to settle the argument definitively:   Another answer here proposes dysphemism, but to me it isn't a full fit:  because it doesn't cover the humor aspect.

For example: Today I was at my 39 vote and it said that there was still 21 votes remaining.        However, after my 40 vote:        So, apparently I have started with 60 votes but I can use only 40? How to use Mathematica functions in Python programs? A borderline between on-topic questions and questions about library recommendation? I have a consideration about new off-topic close reason:     Questions asking us to recommend a tool, library or favorite off-site   resource are off-topic for Stack Overflow as they tend to attract   opinionated answers and spam. Instead, describe the problem and what   has been done so far to solve it.   For example take that question:   It has a close vote with the reason above. But if it would be formed     How to zoom image in an absolute position div to the side?   The answer would be probably also a jQuery plugin or javascript library, but it would follow the patter of most questions about jQuery.  Take that question:   This is the good question about real-life problem. The answer is to use a maven plugin. It is correct, there's no need to reinvent the wheel or rediscover the America.   But  I'm afraid the off-topic text could be misleading and could be misused to close such a questions as that about maven simply because a tool, library or plugin is the answer.   Is it a new guideline that the questions such as cited above should be banned, no matter how they are formed (this would make most how-to-do-in-maven/jquery) questions illegal? Or the close reason should be changed to make more clear what the guidelines are (it's not clear to me now)?
