English syntax has a subject-verb-object word order, meaning that the subject precedes the verb which precedes the object (eg. "I am here."). The exception to this is questions, which have a verb-subject-object word order, inverting the subject and the verb (eg. "Where am I?"). In the Homestar Runner universe, however, the characters occasionally fail to invert the subject and the verb, creating a non-inverted question (eg. "Where I am?").
