to wish someone would teach those bloody Masterchef presenters about the correct use of pronouns? (not in the least lighthearted)

If John Torode says "I want to you cook something delicious for Greg and I" once more, I will fling a fucking fondant at the telly.

Oh bollocks is it learnt or learned?

Every day's a school day!

I stopped watching years ago as i hated watching them use Knives and Forks. And i can't abide people speaking with their mouthful. I don't know if they still do this but it use to really grate on me.

Jazz it's either. US English is a bit pedantic about it but in UK English either is okay.

One of those damn PPI adverts makes the same error.

And it's on all the bloody time!

(I clearly watch too much television)

The Kardashians all do this too, ad infinitum. Not that I watch KUWTK or anything

YANBU - me've almost stopped watching MasterChef because of this. It irritates I no end.

"Greg is a steaming bellend, as am I" is correct. "Greg and I are steaming bellends". Also correct. "Most people think Greg and I are steaming bellends". Also correct. "Could you cook something for my steaming bellend friend Greg and me?" Also correct.

Oh kindred spirits! I always shout at the TV! And the use of 'myself' etc gives me the rage too!

Bluebananas, presumably you wouldn't say "Me am going to cook ..." So why would you say "Greg and me are going to cook"? How can adding "Greg and" make any difference?

Language changes, as do the "rules".

Get over it

Because "me am going to cook" doesn't make sense "me & Greg are going to cook" does

nannyOgg I shout at the telly when that advert's on! Irvin summat isn't it?

It's people tryong to sound posher than what they am. ugh.

JT is myslef's weird crush, Mards. Let him be.

YANBU! The Real Housewives not that I watch them are terrible for this.

BlueBananas, it really doesn't make sense.

I have strong feelings about the use of 'less' when you mean 'fewer'.

I bark it at people at work sometimes by accident. It actually hurts my ears.

Icimoi - it does

I blame the Queen. Ever since she used the old "My husband and I" as subjects of a verb on her Christmas broadcast, people have thought "and I" was posh and always correct, whatever the context, whether as subject or object.

I have always used "Greg and I ". How is that wrong

It's right if you're saying "Greg and I are here" - like "I am here". It's wrong if you're saying "Join Greg and I next week" because you wouldn't say "Join I next week".

So did I. And they were teachers...

The queen is no kind of role model. "Greg and I" is fine if it's the subject of the sentence, Debbriana. If it's the object, technically it's wrong, as Bluestocking explains above.
Having said that, I agree with BlueBananas "Greg and me are going to cook" does make sense - everyone knows what it means and it's used frequently so sounds normal now.
Grammar rules are fluid, they change with usage. I don't understand people getting upset about people saying things in a slightly different way. Why does it matter? it really doesn't

Too confusing!

Bluestocking steaming bellend

Saying less when it should be fewer annoys me too but when I say fewer it makes me feel as though I'm showing off.

Saying utilise when they mean use really annoys me too.
