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.

The ability to follow arbitrary rules - and the rules of grammar certainly are arbitrary  - doesn't indicate intelligence, or logic - but a willingness to acquiensse to conventiion..


If that floats your boat, great.

I' m holding out for better results.

Ok, but how are you supposed to build one on the back of an elephant without the police catching your mum at the disco?
