And forget pronouns. Even newscasters often get “I” and “me” wrong. I remember years ago when I worked at a large law firm and one of the attorneys was leading a meeting. She said “If there are any questions, just call Jeff or I”. I wanted to smack her.
Guess she didn't have Miss Goldberg to instruct her to remove "Jeff" from the sentence to determine the proper usage.
Sometimes the old methods are best. My daughter (now 26) STILL remembers "when two vowels go walking, the first does the talking..."
Ah, the I/me confusion.
When Obama was elected he said, “President Bush has invited Michelle and I to the White House.” The president invited I...????
Right then and there I knew it was going to be a long year. That gaffe was followed by the misspelling of Syracuse, the medical corpse goof, and the incorrect date in the guest book.
Obama can’t even hold a wine glass correctly or even make an appropriate toast.
