It's nice to know that you are coering pronounds. The concept is more complex than I would have surmised but I am getting it! Thanks for another noteworthy podcast!

Grammar Girl, when you used the phrase "the subject case"(referring to the pronoun form), did you mean "the nominative case"? Bravo for your comment (below) regarding the use of the objective case in a prepositional phrase! It is like nails on a chalk board when a well-educated friend of mine says, "between he and I." http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/grammar-linking-verbs.aspx?commentid=16267#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/grammar-linking-verbs.aspx?commentid=16267#Comments Fri, 27 Mar 2009 04:58:14 GMT Jane grammar Which is correct ? These girls are twins. " Holly & Emily's 3rd birthday " ?? " Holly & Emilys' 3rd birthdays " ?? OR should I just copt out and say " the birthdays of Holly & Emily " ???? Does anyone know for sure ? http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/grammar-linking-verbs.aspx?commentid=15949#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/grammar-linking-verbs.aspx?commentid=15949#Comments Sat, 28 Feb 2009 22:58:59 GMT Jackson grammar Will you please recommend a book of traditional grammar rules? http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/grammar-linking-verbs.aspx?commentid=15552#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/grammar-linking-verbs.aspx?commentid=15552#Comments Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:26:15 GMT Jennifer grammar Question about I vs me. Is it correct to say: Thank you for meeting with Lindsay and me or is it Thank you for meeting with Lindsay and I. I think the first is correct, but need confirmation because my husband agrees with the "I". Thanks! http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/grammar-linking-verbs.aspx?commentid=15483#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/grammar-linking-verbs.aspx?commentid=15483#Comments Sat, 24 Jan 2009 23:18:07 GMT cacher grammar I wonder whether it should have been "So until next time, it is I, Grammar Girl, who thanks you for listening" (see, 'thanks' here instead of 'thank') http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/grammar-linking-verbs.aspx?commentid=15295#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/grammar-linking-verbs.aspx?commentid=15295#Comments Tue, 06 Jan 2009 16:52:07 GMT Jimmy grammar "So until next time, it is I, Grammar Girl, who thank you for listening."

I thought it should say: "In the mean time, please feel free to call Colin or I at xxx-xxx-xxxx", but I was told grammatically it should say "In the mean time, please feel free to call Colin or me at ...", if I have to go with the 2nd option then I'd almost want to change me to "myself"... what do you think? http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/grammar-linking-verbs.aspx?commentid=14123#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/grammar-linking-verbs.aspx?commentid=14123#Comments Tue, 30 Sep 2008 18:49:44 GMT Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:04:21 GMT http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/grammar-linking-verbs.aspx feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Managing Editor) feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Webmaster) en-us
