I'm a legal buff. Her method for how she questions litigants is really unique. I like it.
The prosecution rests.
My mother loves her ascerbic attitude.
I told her if she liked that sort of attitude that much I could just move home.

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.
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..
