amn’t I. Among others, James Joyce used this expression in Dubliners, which contains some of the most eloquent stories ever written; Rumer Godden employed it in An Episode of Sparrows; and Rebecca West used it in one of her novels (“I’m just awful, amn’t I?”). So, as odd as it may sound to some ears, the locution is preferred to “Aren’t I?” and “Ain’t I?” by a num- ber of good writers and is widely employed. Amn’t I? is espe- cially popular in Ireland, the expression dating back at least two centuries there.
