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. kb
