So, Dr Orthotwerp "rents from [...] me." <br /><br />It feels wrong, because we get hammered about saying "Bob and me went to do this" - but that's wrong because "me went to do this" is wrong. The correction gets made to "Bob and I" without the explanation, leaving people making knee-jerk corrections that are often incorrect.<br /><br />In related news, Dr Orthotwerp is an idjit. But that, you knew.<br /><br />Today's grammar lesson has been brought to you by the captcha word: affevugh. This is the word that describes how most people feel after reading impromptu grammar lessons.Moosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10397412122635951126noreply@blogger.com
