Shortly thereafter, Bill claimed that Hillary had arranged to send he--

him. To send HIM. It doesn't matter if there's an "and other person" after it. If it makes you shudder to say "him and Bush" say "Bush and him."

It’s hopeless, nobody seems to understand the proper use of pronouns any longer, double negatives are routinely used, the art of verbal communication is being lost. University graduates are prone to make errors that would have made a fifth grader cringe fifty years ago. It is amazing how often someone tells me something or asks me a question and I have to interrogate them to figure out what they are really trying to say. The same with the “journalists” now, I used to wonder if they had the correct information but now I just wonder if they even know what they are trying to say.
