if you're just describing yourself on a generally good day and nobody's asking specifically about your health, a more appropriate response is, "I am good."
That's fine, I suppose, but someone did just ask "How are you?" Even if they don't really care, they are, in fact, asking specifically about your health. If you are in fact sick as a dog or are just having a generally good day and don't want to continue the health tangent, you can respond, "I'm great!" or "Life is good!" etc. The sentence "I am good" should be reserved for hipster kids who use it in place of "No, thank you." I think another good response might be, "I am fine. Maybe a little obsessed with semantics but apart from that I am fine. Now I am three minutes late for grammar practice. Goodbye!"

Leslie wrote:Today's topic is well versus good.Aside from the linking-verb-action-verb trickiness, another reason people get confused about this topic is that well can be both an adverb and a predicate adjective. As I said earlier, in the sentence He swam well, well is an adverb that describes how he swam. But when you say, "I am well," you're using well as a predicate adjective. That's fine, but most sources say well is reserved to mean "healthy" when it's used in this way (1, 3, 4). So if you are recovering from a long illness and someone is inquiring about your health, it's appropriate to say, "I am well," but if you're just describing yourself on a generally good day and nobody's asking specifically about your health, a more appropriate response is, "I am good." *screeching tires, breaking glass* if you're just describing yourself on a generally good day and nobody's asking specifically about your health, a more appropriate response is, "I am good."

As long as I'm complaining about stuff, can I just say that I wish Trader Joe's Banana Yogurt wasn't so runny... that way I wouldn't have poured a third of the container on my foot. :
