The dissapearance of "That"?

Asked by brandin (17points) May 19th, 2008

I seem to notice the lack of the word “that” in many sentences. It’s as if it were implied. For example:

I’m glad I could help (I’m glad that I could help)

Argh, I can’t think of other examples. I just had a few. I’ll add some more as they come up.

Can ya’ll add examples and discuss? Is it just plain improper grammar? Or something else?
