It should be Henry and ME.
Joe and ME.
Sabrina Soto makes this mistake frequently. HGTV needs to hire some English majors.
This is creeping into everything, it's on scripted dramas all the time now. Nothing makes me crazier than someone who's supposed to be a judge/lawyer/doctor/detective/scientist making this mistake. I can suspend my disbelief around surgeons being anorexic ditzes, but this just kills it!
Easy way to remember is to always keep the pronoun next to the verb (assuming you are capable of subject-verb agreement, of course): Jane and I went to the store. The cashier gave the bag to me and Jane.
Guilty. I probably use 'me and John' and 'John and I' the wrong way more than half the time. I try to work on it, but sometimes don't catch myself. I'm sorry!

I'm sorry I missed this thread yesterday by being outside in the sunshine jogging and then coming home and doing yard work and then making lunch for and playing with my children. You all have put your day to fine use.

+1
Also, when someone starts a sentence with "I mean..."

This one seems to be gaining in popularity among black people, and it horrifies me.
I hate when people (EVERYONE) describes something as "cliche" instead of "cliched."
That's not correct?Guilty.
I thought it was correct, too, and I hate to admit that I am Black!
