What does it mean when someone says "It is I."?

Please, native English speakers, under what circumstances would be this grammar used instead of it is me?

Sounds like something a posh persnickety arrogant English person would say

@helenS yeah we learn such formal way of speaking it makes me laugh sometimes
helenS · 36-40, F
@Nanori Yes we have to un-learn plenty of things after school 😐️

@helenS specially the fked up accent.... I swear half of what I say is British accent the other is some sort of American 👀
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@helenS I still can't get over all websites underlining my British spelling. 😭

@CrazyMusicLover That's annoying as hell 😠

@Nanori In fact I like the British accent. The American accent removes too many consonants, so "international" sounds like "innernashnl".

@helenS British does the same just does it prettily so we won't mind

@Nanori Well, they covers a lot as there are 160 dialects in the British Isles, lol

@Nanori I wouldn't go that far. I can hear you're Persian in your voice. Persians always sound like they're singing when they speak.

@helenS I have to turn on subtitles when watching British movies. 😅 But it sounds nice, yeah.

@CrazyMusicLover me too, it's just impossible 😂 @basilfawlty89 😬
Nanori · F
@basilfawlty89 yes I have Persian accent when I talk but when I teach and my jaw warms up it becomes British 🤭
