I know this is petty, but has anyone else noticed that no one, and I mean nobody including well educated professionals, on-air personalities, even teachers appears to know how to use “I” and “me” anymore? “Me” appears to be going away for good, as everybody now substitutes “I” in instances, both written and spoken, when “me” should be used. Don’t come at me, I’m a wordsmith, a story teller, and these small details are part of my DNA.

Do you and your partner quiz each other on the 24 auxiliary (helping) verbs in the morning or are you normal?

Just had a conversation with our former exec director, in which we finally (after a year) confessed our mutual horror at the grammar and punctuation in things the organization is releasing under the new exec director. We each feel a little less alone now. 😢
