[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who use "and I" incorrectly and it should be "and me" but they're being pretentious[/quote] New work around/sidestep is “myself.” Please ask Gina or myself if you have questions.[/quote] But this workaround is incorrect and infuriates the rest of us who studies High School English! [/quote] yes! I was taught in like 5th grade to just remove whatever comes before the myself/me/I and see if it makes sense - and the trick has stuck with me. "Please ask myself if you have questions." NO. "Please ask I if you have questions." NO. "Please ask me if you have questions." YES! So, "please ask Gina or me if you have questions" is correct. Easy peasy. [/quote]
