I do not correct the English in KLBC submissions unless I can't understand
it or the Klingon. I know that for some people it is embarrassing to have
their writing corrected, so I restrict my attention to only what they are
implicitly asking to have corrected.

}This should be "I'm home!" or "I am just back home." (I'm is the
conjugation }for I am, in English.) as in: "Lucy, I'm home!" [for those of
us old enough to }remember the I love Lucy Show].
Now you *are* asking to have your English corrected. "I'm" is a contraction.
