This’ll make my dad laugh. Grammar Girl has finally addressed my one grammatical issue. <\/a> The best thing, though, is that once my dad started reminding me about it (he’d send me an email after reading a post of mine, and the subject line of his email would be: “You\/Me” – and I’d know: DAMMIT. Where is it??) – I actually became conscious of the problem, and have nearly licked the habit. But still – it cracked me up. Here is just one example of this fond loving father\/daughter phenomenon.<\/a> I wouldn’t even open the email from him mostly, because the subject line said it all – I’d just go back to the post and scour it for the problem. You know some rules you just KNOW, because you learned them so well during the Mesozoic era? For example: I never get the “your” “you’re” thing wrong. Or “they’re” “their” “there”. I haven’t made a “they’re” “their” or “there” error since I was 8 years old. Or the whole “it’s” “its” debacle. I never make that mistake. And if I do? It’s a typo. You’ll just have to trust me on that. These rules I KNOW. And most grammar rules are like that for me (for I? – hahahaha) … but the you\/me thing gets me. However, over the last year, I have decided to learn the rule – and I think I’ve got it licked. It still cracks me up, though. All it took was a little focus on the problem.<\/p>\n

I love, too, how Grammar Girl writes:<\/p>\n

The proper sentence is I love you, not Me love you. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh, really? You want to tell that to him<\/i>?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
