Frustrations with grammar

Like me saying "why don't those starving kids in Ethiopia just buy some flyspray and a cheeseburger".

That's a bad analogy to make though. Seriously, I loved English class in school. I spent a fair amount of time writing poetry and short stories. So, when I see a grown woman on national TV and she opens her mouth and sounds like she's stuck back in kindergarten, it really makes me wonder how much attention she paid in school. 

I'm not saying she has to use formal English. But anything else has got to be better than "her and me". I mean, really? Who doesn't know that this is bad?
