Which of these short and sweet use of "I am" do you like the most?

Ok, I first missunderstood. Only "I am." Not "I am Iron Man." or something like that. I have to pass, sorry.

No worries! I am working on that other version as well.

Grammar nerdiness: "I am" may be non-elliptical if it just means "I exist". But when it is a reply to a question, then it is elliptical because it leaves out something that has already been mentioned.

That sounds like it. The surrounding sentences are important in context of the poll.

Should I change anything in the poll to make it clear?

Please change "Poll Suggestion" to "Live Poll" in the discussion thread title and change the settings so that it appears under "Praise" now, rather than "Idea."
