I Know. I Know . . .

You got up this morning, rushed to your computer, (bypassing your coffee) loaded LJ, and readied your eyes for my Wednesday post about psychology and evil people (PC word would be antagonists). But alas, it ain't here. I know. I know. You should just go back to bed. What can I say?  Oh! Really what can I say?  Well, if you must know, last night I

No power over planes?? Tracy, you disappoint me.

[tracy_d74]

I know. *head down in shame* I would understand if you stop being my friend.

(Actually, I wouldn't understand. You signed a contract that says you HAVE to be my friend if I pay you X dollars each month. If I keep paying, you can't stop being my friend. ;-))

I'm sorry, Tracy, but after the no power over planes thing, I'm going to require a boost in salary.

(I love you, you know!)

I figured you were a money grabber. My mom warned me this would happen. But I said, "No. Terri is tooo kind." *tears up contract* You are dead to me.

(I am totally kidding!)

(I would never tear up our contract. I need friends. How much you want?)

Okay, if you must know, I did go back to bed ;)

Just checked out her page. Pretty cool.

And I am fairly sure it is "me" as in "knows more grammar than me." Make me wonder what the difference is between, "me and her went" as opposed to "she and I went." I think they are both correct if the personal pronouns are in the right places.

But what do I know. I need to get a new grammar book. I gave my favorite one away to a student and I sorely miss it.

The "I" and "Me" is based on what is the subject of the sentence. I and me is often figured out with finishing the sentence. She is taller than . . . I am tall or me and tall. See the Me sounds all kinds of crazy. "Me" is an object (I think, grammar girl actually explains this) "I" is the subject. As in I went to the store. I am the one doing the action. You figure our who and whom the same way. To who are you referring Or To Whom are you referring. I am referring to him (whom) or I am referring to he (who). One is the subject one is an object. I was being funny above. I am pretty sure it is "I" If I am wrong . . . well I guess it is a good thing I have her on my RSS. :)

Very good, except for one glaring miss: I NEVER do ANYTHING in the morning before my coffee. It's not a pretty picture.

LOL! I am not a coffee drinker. Sorry!
