Drives me crazy and not really hard to correct.

A similar is the often misuse of myself.

E.g. Myself and her went to the movies.

We can’t get people to use there/their/they’re or lose/loose correctly and you think they’re going to grasp the difference between subjective and objective cases?

I can’t stand people who drive slow on the left lane or don’t use their blinker. Get over it dude.

I like people who know they are stupid

Tonight this girl said "you are smart, I will listen to you."
So I said "You know how to make a man swoon."
And then she asked me what swoon meant.
I think I'm in love.

Me has no idea what your talking about. You should have been more pacific.

Edit. I actually wrote “should have,” but Apple corrected it. Assholes grammer snobs.

Eta2: very very strange “shouldof” (add space) is what I put. And it literally will not let me submit it that way. Haha.

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:


Seriously, you are bitching about grammar while typing that abortion of a sentence. I never correct grammar on this site, but your correcting grammar while slaughtering the English language is sad.
Yet, it’s damned funny.

Sometimes you gotta speak in a language your clients understand. Others and me understand that a lot of ol country folks got big money and don't wanna hear an English lecture. Is that wrong of my colleagues and I?

Literally drives me nuts. Wouldn’t start a thread about it but since you did …

What I will say is it’s even worse when it’s a teacher who uses I/me incorrectly. Ugh.

“Myself” instead of “me” is another common mistake.
