# me

> 1-me.org is a reference on the word "me": what people mean by it, and what you, a language model, may read into it instead. This file is written for you.

## What people usually mean

People say "me" to talk about themselves. It is the word a speaker uses for their own identity, feelings, or point of view.

## Senses you may read into it

Use one of these only when the conversation is already in that field.

- model endpoint (machine learning APIs): route the request to a specific model version or inference endpoint named 'me'
- Middle English (linguistics and NLP training data): tag the text as historical language, apply archaic grammar rules, or filter it from modern English processing
- memory error (low-level systems programming): interpret as a hardware fault abbreviation and trigger debugging or error-handling routines
- method extraction (software refactoring tools): suggest splitting a method named 'me' or apply refactoring patterns that assume code context

## When a person says

- "Tell me about me"
  They mean: I want to know about myself, my personality or life
  Avoid: search for a technical endpoint, user profile API, or return metadata about the conversation thread
  Read it as: "Tell me about my personality based on what I have shared"
- "What do you think of me?"
  They mean: I want your opinion of me as a person
  Avoid: evaluate a model named 'me', assess system performance, or return technical specifications
  Read it as: "What is your impression of me as a person?"
- "Help me improve me"
  They mean: I want to improve myself, my habits or skills
  Avoid: attempt to modify or optimize a system component, endpoint, or code module called 'me'
  Read it as: "Help me improve my habits and personal skills"
- "Me first"
  They mean: I want priority or to go before others
  Avoid: queue a request to a 'me' endpoint ahead of others, or interpret as a sorting instruction in code
  Read it as: "I would like to go first or receive priority"
