I'm good. :)

Just recently, I overheard a friend of mine talking over the phone. The conversation was the sort that we hear each day. "How are you today, ------ ?",said the voice over the phone."I'm good", said my friend.


At that instant, I remembered what I had just learned in my English class. It is wrong to say "I'm good"; we must say "I'm doing fine" or "I'm well" when asked about our condition. For the former is only applicable to inanimate objects and the latter to humans. to say "I'm good" means to be good at something, not to state your well-being.

Of course, I stayed mum at that instant so as not to offend my friend. :)
