Simple test
Category: Communication

I am so sick of people mixing up me and I (e.g. He gave the book to John and I). It really isn't that hard. Use this trick -- take the other person out; say it out loud and see if you sound like a complete idiot. If you do, switch it.

Examples:

  • "Give the book to John and I" becomes "Give the book to I."

  • "John and me went to the store" becomes "Me went to the store."

    • I can't help you if you think that "Me went to the store" sounds right.

    (If you thought that this post was interesting, why not read another? Perhaps a random link? Or you could just read about me.)

    Don't worry; I haven't turned off comments. However, I have been forced to do a quick check to make sure that you're not a computer. As such, you will need to answer the question below. Once you've done that, you'll be able to comment with impunity.
