DH and I

[ArseholeLemonade]

I've name changed for this

I've recently noticed an increase in the incorrect usage of "and I" on mumsnet.
To know which one to use, always take the other person out of the sentence and see if it makes sense.

DH and me went to the shops = Me went to the shops. Wrong.
DH and I went to the shops = I went to the shops. Right.

I bought some cake for DH and I = I bought some cake for I. Wrong.
I bought some cake for DH and me = I bought some cake for me. Right!

My 8 year old is currently learning this at school so I thought I'd share.

Sorry. As you were.

If I brought a book from Asda's, you could borrow it off of me.

I brought two cakes from the shop for DH and I, but him didn't want he's.

@ArseholeLemonade

I honestly thought I'd get flamed for this thread but I'm pleasantly surprised by the response's.

This thread is somethink for us to enjoy if we've got nothink better to do

Drives me nuts when people get this wrong! Well done for pointing it out OP!

"It's DH and I's anniversary next week"

Which one, though? Is it you're 20 years anniversary?

@FunTimes2020 thanks I’ll definately lend it from you.

Your wellcome but I think you should defiantly lend it

It's also amazing how many people don't know when to use who or whom. All you have to do is to answer your own question but with 'he' or 'him' and then it's obvious: 'who' corresponds to 'he' (neither ends in 'M') and 'whom' corresponds to 'him' (both end in 'M').

"Who does this belong to?" [or "to who does this belong?"]
"This belongs to he."
Obviously both wrong.

"Whom does this belong to?" [or "to whom does this belong?"]
"This belongs to him."
Both correct.

"I spoke to a man whom informed me that it was Monday."
"Him informed me that it was Monday."
Obviously both wrong.

"I spoke to a man who informed me that it was Monday."
"He informed me that it was Monday."
Both correct.

If I brought a book from Asda's, you could borrow it off of me.

I think you mean 'lend it of me'

You're right, OP.
Married At First Sight Australia was so bad for this. It really made me cringe!

@HmmmmmmInteresting

You're right, OP. Married At First Sight Australia was so bad for this. It really made me cringe!

it was a crimge fest for a lot of other reasons too!😁

*cringe
ffs

I did a course with someone who was adamant that this was wrong, and that "she went to the bank with John and I" was correct.

She and I have both just been moved to a role where we will have to see each other. Or, as she would say, me and her have just been moved to that role.

It's Muphry's law

Me and DH is the most common myself often thinks.

A manager from Lloyds bank wrote to me

Dear Madam

Ending
Yours Sincerely

Next letter was

Dear Mrs Oldname

Ending

Yours faithfully

And, then there's seperate ...

I know these responses are in jest, but this thread is making my eyes itch 😖

@Checkingout811 @FunTimes2020
🤣
Thanks - there wasn’t any books when I gone there last week.

@DappledThings *would have

Well done. You're fighting a losing battle though.

You got that one of my "mistakes" was a deliberate joke but not the other?

@DappledThings ooops straight over my head. Maybe I'm an offender ha.

I feel mean saying this one but I’m going to say it anyway.

There was a woman on the TV talking about furlough and she said ‘I just can’t loan anymore money’ Whilst I knew what she meant, she just sounded like an idiot. I wanted to say to her, maybe you don’t have any money because you keep lending people money! It’s BORROW, not LEND!!

To be fair I was taking a risk!

Thanks. I never could of figured this out.
