When someone says "I really like tacos," someone will often respond with "me too." But I'm wondering why, grammatically, it isn't "I too."?

half right. should be "I, as well."

Well, getting all technical, if someone asks "Is Devon anywhere to be found," you should hop out of your seat and yell "That's I!"

actually, it'd be "That's me."

random stranger hopping in. sorry.

My turn to apologize. Sorry, but you're completely wrong. The nominative form of any noun follows any form of "to be." It's plain old, good Latin grammar, and the foundation of our own.

That's I = That is I.

"Is" being a form of "to be," the nominative form of the first person singular pronoun is called to use. It may sound ugly but vulgar usage has corrupted all sorts of formal grammar.

Here's a link if you don't believe me.

It seems you may have messed with the wrong Latin student. ::grins::

Hop in anytime!

well.... technically speaking the answer should be "FUCK YEAH YOU LIKE TACOS BITCH" or also you can say "MMM TACOS", "let's go get some" is also acceptable in most eastern states as well.

best of luck for you and your tacos

I too? I-2? I think that was a japanese submarine...

[obnoxiousorange]

Oh, it reminded me of Star Wars. Like, I2D2.

[jetpackted]

i don't know if any of the astromechs were designated with an I...

[obnoxiousorange]

Yeah, I figured "I do too" would do the trick, but... just making sure I wasn't missing something blatant that made "me too" acceptable.
