Grammar – Why is ‘Me Busy’ Correct?

expressionsgrammarvocabularyword-usage

I was playing Warcraft. I clicked on my peon.

He told me: "me busy. leave me alone."

Why is it OK to say it that way instead of just "I'm busy."?

Best Answer

It's wrong. This is deliberate on the part of the game designers. Peons are not known for being highly educated or well-spoken.

However, babies sometimes speak this way before they learn the difference between objective pronouns (me) and subjective pronouns (I). For that reason, incorrect constructions like "me (verb)" or "me (adjective)" are associated with "baby talk."
