spanish speakers help please?

hi, i was wondering how to say i want him in spanish, i believe it is "yo quierlo", and if it is not, please tell me why so that i may know next time. also, i have friends that speak native spanish from el salvador, puerto rico, and and bolivia and when i say something is spanish, they say its incorrect and not 100% right, but my teacher is from spain and says its correct (most people i know from spain have a lispe and they said vosotros isn't really used). do different spanish speaking countries have different ways of saying things, or is it just more likely spanish slang or proper spanish? thank you =)

Is "It's me" recognized as grammatically acceptable?

This question is for grammar purists only, since obviously 99% of the population doesn't even see the problem.

The phrase "It's me" is short for "It is me" and is grammatically a predicate nominative. This calls for the subjective case to be used in the predicate ("me"). But "me" is objective case; grammatically, it must be "I". Thus this should be written "It is I", or "It's I". This of course sounds hopelessly stupid. No one in their right minds when calling their spouse on the phone would say "It's I", and if you say "It is I", you will of course be made fun of for sounding melodramatic, and rightly so. ("Man of La Mancha" comes to mind.)

The situation has become sufficiently absurd that the only conclusion I can draw is that "It's me" is now standard English, and so I'm curious whether the guardians of the language have acknowledged this as well, and if so, have they come up with an explanation of this (e.g., "This is a predicate nominative postfricative construction")?

What does the 'a' in a-knocking, for example, means?

I've seen lyrics, poetry and other texts with this kind of construction, with an 'a' preceding a verb ("He came a-knocking on my door', or something like it) and have no idea of its meaning. Why is it there and when can I use it?
(I'm not a native English speaker.)
