Me and her went to the restaurant where they served she and I.

If you apply the singular the error is obvious.

Me went to the restaurant where they served I.
Her went to the restaurant where they served she.

Plurality doesn't change subject/object properties.

I have been on the internet long enough where grammar doesn't really bother me too much..It is when the sentence/comment makes absolutely no sense.

All of them. And when the “t” isn’t pronounced at the end of words (last, first, worst, etc). Grates on my nerves.

I don't know if this is necessarily grammatical, but misuse of the word literally.

ex:) "I literally drove my car to the store."
