"You can't have your cake and eat it" doesn't make sense.

That's because it is popularly misquoted.

The correct saying is

"You can't eat your cake and have it"

Obviously!
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

C&P from https://public.wsu.edu/~...ans/errors/eatcake.html



The most popular form of this saying—“You can’t have your cake and eat it too”— confuses many people because they mistakenly suppose the word “have” means “eat,” as in “Have a piece of cake for dessert.” A more logical version of this saying is “You can’t eat your cake and have it too,” meaning that if you eat your cake you won’t have it any more. The point is that if you eat your cake right now you won’t have it to eat later. “Have” means “possess” in this context, not “eat.”

If you eat your cake you still have it - in YOUR stomach.

Good for you... continue possessing...

But the short form of "I am" is "I'm", not "am". It is pronounced phonetically as "ai-m".

This morning I accidentally bumped into K24 and found Jimi Gathu and some other newsman discussing the day's top news stories in Sheng'. Maybe you can help them.
