Frustrations with grammar

Joods, you're touching on a much deeper social issue. Education.
Like me saying "why don't those starving kids in Ethiopia just buy some flyspray and a cheeseburger".
No God, No fear.

For instance, ‘He handed it to her and me’ is correct (even though it sounds wrong) because you wouldn’t say, ‘He handed it to I.’ Yeah, her and me doesn't sound right. Me and her, on the other hand, does.  (November 14, 2018 at 7:38 pm)ignoramus Wrote: Joods, you're touching on a much deeper social issue. Education. 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?

Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”
Wiser words were never spoken.

For instance, ‘He handed it to her and me’ is correct (even though it sounds wrong) because you wouldn’t say, ‘He handed it to I.’ True, but not in the examples that I gave. It doesn't make any sense to say it that way. Disclaimer: I am only responsible for what I say, not what you choose to understand.
Punctuation is bloody important as well.
‘Susan loved cooking, her family, and her pets’ as opposed to ‘Susan loved cooking her family and her pets’. Boru
