You actually say I AM MR. ???? I've never seen anyone call themselves MR.
Maybe I'm being americacentric? Is that a word? :)
It's actually not that uncommon for non-name uses your describing yourself as
fitting a role...
Describing yourself as the "topic expert" at the company:
I am Mr Cisco.
Or what you do:
I am Mr Fixit.
Or a humorous title for something you do:
I am Mr SpamNinja.
Or sarcastically:
I am Mr Perfect. (...and the rest of you all suck.)
OKOKOK... This could go around in circles.
/I AM MR\./ 0/7370s, 0/3711h
/I AM MR/ 2/7370s, 0/3711h
The two that matched were actually "I AM MRS.". Most in my corpus are
*not* in all-caps. Thus:
/I AM MRS?[\.\s]/i 8/7370s, 0/3711h
Personally, I wouldn't give this any score to speak of, but (after a
larger corpus test), I would use it as part of a meta rule with other
Nigerian bits.
