Hi, everyone!

I wonder if this is a bit too nitpicky:

Emacs!


I googled "I've a", and found it quite common:
   * I've a flat tyre.
   * I've a message from the Lord, hallelujah!
   * I've a Laddie in America.
   * Bridget Christie: 'I've a long way to go' | Culture | The Guardian
   * Lucy Mangan: I've a shameful confession to make
   * I've an idea.
To me, it's just how a casual verbal expression is accurately reproduced in writing.

I agree though that this may be deemed inappropriate in scholarly writing.
