I can’t stand when people incorrectly use “I” because they think they are smart

Traditionally, people have had to learn the correct time to use I vs me because it’s so often misused when I should be the subject. Common error:

WRONG: Cayden and me had a fun time at the travel ball game this weekend.

This is not correct. So people started to learn the correct way to use it in that above example.

CORRECT: Cayden and I had a fun time at the travel ball game this weekend.

Fast forward and people are over compensating and using I every single time because they think I is always the correct way when they are unsure of which to use.

WRONG: I made some dinner for Hubbie and I tonight.

WRONG: Can you bring the stuff to Stephen and I?

No. That’s not it. You are using I because you think it makes you sound smart and refined, but you are wrong.

I don’t think anyone uses it improperly to feel good. I use it improperly because I slept thru high school

I have family that every single time they put pics on social media they say “this is ______ and I.” Drives me nuts.

Look, until we tackle the to/too issue this "I" business is a loose/loose situation.











Yes, that is intentional.
