04:57 am - A question. Are there any grammatical errors which you know are wrong, but continue to (ab)use anyway?
For example, I tend to use things like "Mark and I" as object phrases, which I know is wrong (it should be "Mark and me", clearly). It came from when I was young, and would tell my mum things like: "Me and Mark are going to the shop." She would just reply with "Mark and I..." She did once explain that the first-person pronoun should come last, but she never explained that I should use 'I' rather than 'me' because it was a subject phrase, so, once she had managed to get it into my head, I tended to correct it in every part of speech, and still do.
