I have friends with no ear at all for why you shouldn't say "me and her went to the store", or even "she and me", and it hurts. Also hurts that some of these people are professionals that make a lot more money than I do. A LOT. So I guess it's not the brick wall to one's career that I had thought. Oh well, at least my grammar is better, even if my pocketbook is empty. <em>J's last blog post..<a href='http://jellyjules.com/?p=1072' rel="nofollow">In Defense of Food</a></em> I agree, and I’m ever thankful to my mother for always correcting my grammar while I was growing up.
