How wonderful to be an English teacher - the rules are reinforced for you when you share them with others! Sometimes I still have to stop and think before I say "me" or "I"! I wouldn't blame English teachers - I'm sure it comes down to students not paying attention. :)JoKnowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282621916141807042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132521194361824092.post-15034582598285064822017-04-13T13:06:15.147-04:002017-04-13T13:06:15.147-04:00As a former English teacher, I applaud your desire...As a former English teacher, I applaud your desire to "straighten out" our use of homophones. Good luck with the 100+ misused/misspelled words that sound like some other word(s) in our English language. And it is amazing how many people who think that they know better actually do not. Will you also write a post about the objective pronoun "me," as in "with Jim and me"? I hear literally everyone saying "with Jim and I." Grrrrrrr😩Where did English teachers go wrong?
