[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]

And they don't realize that they are making themselves sound like idiots.  It's like people are afraid of using the word me.

I find that people who don't understand how grammar works do this a lot. They think saying "I" sounds smarter, so they always say that. They think saying "well" is always right, when it's really only when being used as an adverb - how are you doing? I am doing well. How are you feeling? I am feeling well. Nope! This time it's good because it's an adjective, not an adverb. Same with further - it sounds "fancier" than farther, but people use it wrong all the time, and the right word is usually farther.

I think a lot of people speak quickly and sometimes mess it up bc they don’t actually recall what they just said so they say “I” inadvertently… not to sound smarter. I do this and I’m sure others do too.

People who are such sticklers for grammar are such jerks.  It doesn’t actually make you a better person.  F off.  [/quote]
