Please stop using pronouns wrong!
Between you and I, I’m sick of people using the wrong pronoun. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong!
Don’t invite Kevin and I to a Super Bowl party this year. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong!
Are you guilty of saying or writing sentences like the previous ones? You are not alone. I hear TV news anchors torture the language with the wrong pronoun. No, you’re not alone, but you are wrong. You can, however, learn to use pronouns properly.
Here’s a post that explains correct usage:

Good luck and happy writing!

Between you and I, Hope, this pronoun usage starts to befuddle my mind. Us writers have to learn so many rules. When me and my friends were in school, teachers emphasized the subject pronouns and acted as if object pronouns had developed only for the linguistic benefit of mountain people with missing teeth. Of course, us kids were mountain people with missing teeth, but that didn’t stop our teachers from telling my friends and I the wrong information. Thank you for helping we to correct it.
