Is This One Sticking In Your I -?

Why not say it correctly?

Is This One Sticking In Your "I" -?


Too many of us have problems with "I"

It's WRONG to say, "They gave the gift to Sue and I."

It's RIGHT to say, "They gave the gift to Sue and me."

Keep in mind - just take out the other person.

You wouldn't say, "They gave the gift to I,

But you would say, correctly, "They gave the gift to me."


F William Broome 2008

Thanks for a much needed English lesson this morning. Sometimes we just get lazy I think. I'm pretty good about "You and I" and "You and me." It's words that sound the same but are spelled differently that I need to qualify more.

Love,
Susan
