I (and I) have accepted defeat

[SavePlasticine]

After years of cringing when people use "and I" when it should be "and me", I have officially accepted that there is no hope!

I recently saw a video of Prince Willy and Kate where she got it wrong, so what hope is there for anyone else?! 😭

Tiktok and Instagram is also full of people saying "look at my husband and I's new house/car/airfryer". If we're now commonly using "I's" then we're all doomed!

For those who are unsure..
"Bob and I went by bus" = correct because if you remove Bob, "I went by bus" is still correct .
"The bus ran over Bob and I" = incorrect because if you remove Bob, "The bus ran over I" is incorrect
.
An easy way to remember it is that you should use "I" when you are doing something but use "me" when it is being done to you.
Your welcome!

Good one. Although it doesn't specify who the our refers to as you might want to in some situations.

It would generally be assumed though. If not you could ask 'you and your boyfriend/sister/other random?'.

In reality surely most people would just say our?

That's part of the joy of English though that you can be precise. Or more vague if you prefer!

I'm 99% sure I saw it on a shorter clip of this podcast. I haven't watched the whole thing as its very long, but I will try to identify the exact part when I get a chance!

Princess Anne said floor when she meant ground. (I still think she's terrific though.)
