Good morning! ... and remember, you read it here first.
Of course I can read. See up there? "I read it first." Although, as iconomy pointed out, you actually read it first which means that I read it second. But that just goes to show that I can read.

Sorry, I happen to know that you didn't really read it, but only scanned it, so nomis read it first, and LeeJay read it second, and you will probably fail the pop quiz.
Admittedly, a sharp blow to the head last night may be hindering my though processes, but couldn't one have read it here first yet be the, say, 19th person to have read it here?
'You read it here first' vs 'you are the first person to have read it here'?
Being unemployed on the U.S. West Coast, I think I can confidently say that I read it here last.
not including those who read it after it was no longer true, i.e.: no longer morning or no longer good.
