Blackpearl--- You are right. But I'm not very optimistic.

Thanks, Jazwolf,

I must have missed this post the first time out.  Wow.  People really do need to read this or at least pay more attention in school.  :)

Una--- "Nathaniel and I" is correct. When speaking or writing about someone

else and yourself, mention the other person (or persons) first. And, of course, "me" never should be used as the subject of a sentence.

Jazwolf, between

"Me and Nathaniel were late for work"

and

"I and Nathaniel were late for work."

Which one is more correct?

What about "Nathaniel and I were late for work" ?

Thank you.

Jazwolf, it's one of those things that we are so constantly assaulted by

that we (or me or I!) start to doubt ourselves . I know this and still sometimes I do it. It's funny too because  people will  try to correct people who have got it right.   "I could care less" about this.
I have a good little grammar book called "Between You And I" am I sure that title confuses people.

I detest that, as well.

And you are absolutely correct as to why people make the error.

There's nothing worse than morons trying to sound smart.

It just makes I so mad!

"Me fail English!  That's unpossible!"
