M. grammar I thank you for this clarification. I have had this discussion before. As a non English native speaker, I cringe every time I hear people say "me and my friend". It is so commonly used that people tell me that it is grammaticaly correct. I have seen a store called "Me and mi sister"...augggg. I love your site and your articles! http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/between-me-and-you.aspx?commentid=19605#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/between-me-and-you.aspx?commentid=19605#Comments Tue, 06 Oct 2009 18:03:22 GMT Yolanda Martinez grammar This is really interesting. It is different when you analyze the sentence and what you want to mean. One is a subject and another is an object. http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/between-me-and-you.aspx?commentid=18608#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/between-me-and-you.aspx?commentid=18608#Comments Mon, 24 Aug 2009 22:28:41 GMT swagirl grammar Wondering how you handle this when using proper nouns. Is it 'Bob and you' or 'you and Bob?' The latter sounds more natural, but I wonder if it's correct. http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/between-me-and-you.aspx?commentid=17639#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/between-me-and-you.aspx?commentid=17639#Comments Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:03:03 GMT AngelaD grammar I understand and agree with placing others before "me" and "I". But I thought there was a definite rule regarding when to use "me" and when to use "I"? Could you expand on this? http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/between-me-and-you.aspx?commentid=16342#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/between-me-and-you.aspx?commentid=16342#Comments Thu, 02 Apr 2009 20:49:22 GMT Hanna grammar Have you seen this site? http://www.grammarbook.com/ http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/between-me-and-you.aspx?commentid=16324#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/between-me-and-you.aspx?commentid=16324#Comments Wed, 01 Apr 2009 11:08:24 GMT Scott grammar Love the podcast: educational, great voice, and super clear. I put The Elements of Style on my wish list. I was surprised I could even get it on VHS. A+ work and thanks. http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/between-me-and-you.aspx?commentid=16320#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/between-me-and-you.aspx?commentid=16320#Comments Tue, 31 Mar 2009 23:12:00 GMT rpmason grammar katieC, Yes, it sounds awkward but it is grammatically correct. If exactly to whom she gave advice is obvious, feel free to use "us". "She gave him and me, but not her, some advice". http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/between-me-and-you.aspx?commentid=16295#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/between-me-and-you.aspx?commentid=16295#Comments Mon, 30 Mar 2009 17:07:21 GMT katieC grammar I understand the concepts here, but find myself wondering: why not "we" or "us"? Some of the statements, such as, "She gave him and me some advice," just seem a bit awkward. Is there ever a case - other than style - for opting for compound pronouns rather than plural personal pronouns? Thanks for a wonderful resource! http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/between-me-and-you.aspx?commentid=16292#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/between-me-and-you.aspx?commentid=16292#Comments Mon, 30 Mar 2009 15:51:00 GMT Tue, 06 Oct 2009 18:03:22 GMT http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/between-me-and-you.aspx feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Managing Editor) feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Webmaster) en-us
