I speed read anyway, then while in school, I had a fear of being in front of everybody. So when I had to read out loud in front of the class. Then it came out like this....

Then everybody was like; "What did he just say? Did his lips even close on that word/sentence?"

 

I had to jump in here. The correct phrase is "my brother and me." It is the objective form of the pronoun. If it was the subject of the sentence it would be "my brother and I." Simple rule of thumb remove the first noun/pronoun, in this case "my brother," and read it as written. "My mother used to correct I" doesn't make sense. "I" is the object of the correction, so it has to be the objective form of the word.

 

that is the aboslute funniest thing I have read in a while.

 

That removes all doubt, she is a genuine corn fed southern country girl.

So why is the way that you were raised to say it, so much better than the way she was raised to say it? Little preppy are we?

 

It's proper grammar. That's all. And yes, I am right, and I am perfect!

 

Yummy.

 

 

Frankly, none of yer speak proper like what we do over here where the language were invented like

 

Sorry, Your Wrong.

See, that's how you correct English w/o being a jurk.

 

I once had a joke backfire on me very badly.
I felt terrible for having said it.

I was working with a bunch of college kids and our supervisor was a lady without benefit of a formal education. We were all in charge of some school children.

I said, "That kid over there called me the 'E' word."
After a pause so they could think about what the bad 'E' word was,
"He said I was Egnorant."

All the college kids laughed while our supervisor looked out over the throng of children and asked, "Which one was it?"

Got to know your audience.

 

I ain't gettin' into this here pissin' contest.....

 

I stopped reading when I saw the improper use of a word referred to as "out of context".

Physician, heal thyself.

 

I was just trying to ask a question. I need a crying smiley.

 

Free of charge.

 

It's ok Racerchik. Don't take it serious. This is just a website for grown men to come here to gripe and moan at each other and let out thier emotions. It would be too embarassing to do it in the real world.
