My pet hate at the moment is that bloody terrible super ad, 'His fees are lower, his fees are higher, etc etc etc'.
Of course they bloody are, what do you think we are, complete cretins:mad:
Also the press 1 press 2 press3, enter your telephone number, then get asked for your phone number when you finally get a human.

They are correct if used in the right way, heres an example:

"Bert went to town with you and me" is correct, "Bert went to town with you and I" is incorrect.

"You and I went to town with Bert" is correct, "You and me went to town with Bert" is incorrect.

How to work out what is correct, drop the "you and" from the sentence and see if it is correct.

"Bert went to town with me" is correct, "Bert went to town with I" is incorrect.

"I went to town with Bert" is correct, "Me went to town with Bert" is incorrect.

Does it really matter, well no!

G'day Mic-d,

It does matter if we want our kids learning correct grammar, otherwise they'll end up like a bunch of westies/bogans.

Look, it's really simple. "I" is the nominative case, although English grammarians prefer the term subjective case, of the first person singular, whereas "me" is the objective case of same, right? So when you are the object of the verb, you use "me", and when you are the subject, you use "I", OK? So "I went", you are the subject; "went with me" you are the object. The rules don't change when you add other people into the sentence. See? It's dead easy

Yeah. Simple, SilentC.

But where's Bert?

G'day Felder,

Bert is with Ernie.

But where's Bert?

Bert is here with me.
I am here with Bert.
Bert and I are here.
Here is Bert and me.
Bert is here and so am I.
Bert has left the building, leaving me behind.
I hate Bert, he pisses me off.

See Digger,
see Digger run,
see Digger run with Pam and Sam.

I want to see Dick nip Dora's Fluff

Youse is all wrong

You must've had the Aussie version of the books, Waldo. The ones I recall had Spot, Dick and Jane.

That is going back a looooong way though

G'day SilentC,

Ah yes, it was Dick and Jane but my books said Digger. Different state different books or names maybe?
