You read DCUM every day.
It is an everyday occurrence to read DCUM.

Only use one word when it's an adjective, people!

You FLOUT a rule when you flagrantly disobey it.
You FLAUNT things you have that you're proud of.

No people. She went to the mall with Larla and ME! ME! ME!


This is my weakness. I don't know when it's appropriate to use 'Katie and I' vs 'Katie and me' vs 'I/me and Katie.'


If you would normally say "me", then use "me".

He gave it to ME

He gave it to Larla and ME.

She went to the mall with ME.

and so on.
