“I am fine” is just a cover up for a number of people and everybody is guilty of this.
When you call someone on the phone or come across a person even on the road, the first question that is asked is – how are you?
The person who the question is thrown at will quickly respond – “I am fine” irrespective of his or her state of mind at that time.
“I am fine” is misleading and has made some people miss an opportunity, die without getting the required help, lose a future husband or wife, miss a lift and many more you can thing of.
Now, you may be asking – what is the right thing to say?
Wrong
I am fine
Correct
I am excellent (if you don’t have an issue bothering you)
I am different (if you have a challenge disturbing you).
There are so many other grammatical blunders that we speak such as:
Wrong
Give me pure water
Correct
Give me sachet water
Wrong
I don’t have transport fare
Correct
I don’t have money for transport
Wrong
Look at your extreme end
Correct

Wrong

Correct
Hold on for a while, I’ll attend to you
Wrong
That is the bending corner
Correct
That is the bed or that is the corner
Wrong
I done have credit
Correct

English grammar is dynamic so you have to be updated on the use of words so that you will not make a mess of yourself in public.
