Language' s primary purpose is to convey ideas and information. If you are efficiently doing so - you' re doing it right.


The rest is just snobbery.

Yeah, I didn't imply that. Speaking with some intelligence is required if you want to win your court battle. Also, if you constantly heard someone saying "him and me" or "her and me" all the time, you'd start to think they really weren't all that intelligent. I just asked my 16 year old about it and she agreed. 

And no - it isn't snobbery to want to be and sound educated.
