Scarmiglione, I agree that "me" is wrong there, but me/I doesn't have to be the last in the list (from what I understand); it's just polite. Sometimes I do it intentionally to slight people, even if I'm the only one who is going to understand it. I'm strange/petty like that.
Secondly, I almost hate it more when people say, "She wanted to give it to him and I." I understand that whoever said it was trying, but "I" is not the all purpose answer to "person and self" situations.
And since I currently don't have The Elements of Style with me, I figure I may as well ask a question of my own: am I using quotation marks correctly in the above paragraphs?
I'm thinking that I might need to use single ones or none at all. |
