You love sucking the joy out of a room?
Relax. You know what they mean. Isn’t successful communication the primary objective?

Sure. Let’s go back to cavemen days and just grunt and point. Everyone knows what we would mean anyway.

You should sue every grammar school teacher you had. That is an travesty.

“this is ______ and I.” Drives me nuts
Don’t let it. Lol. That’s actually correct. The pronoun “I” should be used in that case because it’s in the nominative case (predicate nominative after the linking verb “is.”)

are you saying if I show you a picture of me that I should say “this is I”? Because I’m not sure I buy that.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference

Dude I agree
People just think saying I just sounds smart
And they're like "look at me I'm using 'I'"
When in actuality it is wrong

The OT and me think you should go frick yourself.

Until we get the left lane driver issue resolved, everything else should take a backseat.

WRONG: Can you bring the stuff to Stephen and I?
in non-formal context I'd prefer to go with "can you bring the stuff to me and Stephen?"
rather than Stephen and me.
I'm not sure why, I think it's quicker to the point, if me and stephen are together, I might as well get it out of the way that you're coming to meet with me
