I go online to look up one thing, then look up and its two hours later. I shudder to think how much I could have written. Books and books! Do you have a daily word count or other trick to motivate you? Denise www.tech-can-do.com That’s my problem, also. I go online to look up one thing, then look up and its two hours later.

"And then there’s you and I." Would you be into explaining the 'I' vs 'me' since so many get it wrong? I think that the 'I' in your sentence was because the nominative (or the subject case) is used after 'is' . I've forgotten the explanations. But at the same time, I remember a rule of thumb that suggested trying the 'I' or 'me' alone without the other person, and what you'd use alone is what you'd use in a pair. Help! As usual you’ve made me think.
