"Is new to me" indicates it is new at present. As in: I saw his reply when I was there (in the past), but the response submitted by him is new to me (now). As in, looking at his response then, it now is new. The past version "was new" implies it all happened in the past. As in: I saw his reply when I was there and it then seemed new to me.
Dec 12, 2013 · Your 3 examples are all cases where 'me' is passive, being acted on by 'an idea/thought'. Is that your context? You want examples of other things ideas can do to a passive you?
Apr 7, 2015 · In a Business sense I would probably use the word "acceptable". "Fine by me" and "fine with me" are more common speech terms.

Let me add one possibility no one has mentioned: an appositive. Bill and Mark, they’re good chaps. Me, I’m thinking of staying. Me myself, I’m thinking of staying. Your father and me, we’re thinking of staying. My partners and me, we’re interested in investing in your product. All those are grammatical.

Jan 5, 2012 · If your professor knows you're not a native English speaker, he should be happy with either of those. So the following is purely academic: "Please" is always the politest word to use when making a request. It is never wrong. To my British ears, the following phrases have a very slightly haranguing tone (as of a nagging mother):
