<rant> Words like "for," "to," "between," etc. are prepositions. Pronouns that are the object of prepositions are just that -- objects. They are not subjects. They are objects. Repeat after me, "they are objects." You would say "This is for me," not "This is for I." Agreed? Why in the world would you say "This is for my wife and I?" How about using the correct case and saying, "This is for my wife and me." "I" vs. "me" does not change just because you stick "my wife and" in front of the preposition. Chalk screeching on a blackboard. Yeah, I know, "Lighten up, Francis." </rant> Feel free to add your own grammar rant. Or feel free to tell me to sit on a cactus. --signed, Aggravated in general today. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | ||

Thank you, Sir. They don't even teach kids how to diagram sentences in school anymore. I fear it's only going to get worse now. -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

I find it even worse when people say something like "He invited my wife and myself". It's as if they think saying "me" is inappropriate. Uggg | |||

I recall diagramming sentences in high school. I specifically recall disliking that quite a bit. I have to read a lot of narratives from a lot of millennials for work. I finally gave up on rejecting reports for grammar unless the mistake changed or obfuscated the meaning of the sentence completely. Otherwise I'd kick back almost 100% of them, and ain't nobody got time for that.  Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here. Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard. -JALLEN "All I need is a WAR ON DRUGS reference and I got myself a police thread BINGO." -jljones | |||

I believe, "Irritated in general," would be the more accurate word choice. To aggravate means to make something that's already bad worse. Feeling 'aggravated' implies that being irritated, angry, grumpy, unhappy or whatever is one's default state. | |||

^^^^Yeah, but they don't speak English there. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . .

Teaching grammar nowadays is a tough road to hoe, and begs the question, what is wrong with education? Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||
