Once someone, especially a so-called professional journalist, shows me they don’t understand subjective from objective and the use of said with prepositions (and TWICE in one prepositional phrase), I quit listening to them. They have nothing else to say to me. They have discredited any content they think they have to relay. If you don’t know that, I can fairly assume you don’t know the what you’re talking about. If you didn’t listen in school, you’re a dunce. Yet you think your OPINION matters? Everybody makes mistakes, yes. You may actually KNOW the rules-—but you can’t THINK fast enough to get it right when speaking in conversation? We can accept colloquialisms and many non-standard English language quirks-—I have no problem with them, they often are just part of colorful speech-—but not a foundational concept like subjective/objective pronouns.
Best English rule ever: Always name the other person first (before yourself).
Much less likely to switch subjective/objective.
Yeah, you still hear “Him and I went to the store,” but it’s easy for anyone in authority (teacher, parent, friend) to point out how ridiculous and ignorant it sounds.
If anyone cares . . .
