Sorry I have missed this thread up until now.
As it happens, ROB, I think your postings about you and Paul Clarke are hilarious, loved some of your older stuff where you and another, shall I say, mature lady from this site had a fight over him... had me in stitches, who cares if you are tongue in cheek or you really have a huge crush on him, it's funny either way. But on the more serious note: I think the title "Me and Mr Clarke" is grammatically okay, if not completely correct. It cannot be completely correct because it is not a sentence, it is a phrase used as a title. I think the word "about" is implied, in that title, so you could say the title actually means "About me and Mr Clarke". That phrase would be correct, because if Mr Clarke were not included, you would say "About me". You would not say "About I". When deciding whether to use "me" or "I" in this situation, you have to look at whether you would have used "me" or "I" if the other person was not there. So the sentence "Mrs Oldgit and I watched Big Brother" is correct. To say "Kate's victory was welcomed by me and Mrs Oldgit" is also correct. If I were to say "Kate's victory was welcomed by Mrs Oldgit and I" that would be wrong, as "by me" is correct and "by I" is wrong. Comprendez? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
