Really?!?!!?!? Gee, I wonder how that happened - do you suppose that maybe
they were burned?

here's my pet peeve: "me and him went to the store."

What bugs me even more is "the store opened it's doors for he and
I'. We have a game where the kids get points for spotting misuse of
a subjective or objective pronoun on television. The misuse of
subjective pronouns far outdistances the misuse of objective ones.
I am beginning to see I misused so often that even some academics I
know can't seem to figure out which is subjective and which is
objective. Read a wonderful book by a fairly literate author a few
days ago and, low and behold, there was a glaring "the process was
explained to Don and I." I think the reason it bothers me so much is
that for some reason, "I" has gotten a reputation as being more
correct than "me", without a context. The pretentious "I" is so
common in our pop culture that I am afraid we might see the death of
"me" yet!

I also cringe at the "I am looking to...." that follows any request
and appears constantly on Craigslist. . I do love a good phrasal
verb now and then but please not “looking to...."

Gee Chief, imagine that!

Melinda, that is my pet peeve also. I want to say, "Repeat the sentence
leaving out one of those and see how it sounds." You wouldn't say "the
process was explained to I".

Joe,
I want to laugh at that and i do, but I am afraid i have probably been
responsible for gaffes just as stupid <g>

redundancy has at times been more than an acquaintance.
