It must confuse English learners to hear phrases like, "I'm home", instead of "I am at home." We don't say I'm school, or I'm post office. (lemmy.world)

When was the meeting where we decided not to say "I'm post office" because I use that phrase daily?

I used to be pre office. I still am, but now I'm post office too.
