My english teacher told me to take out the second subject to find out which is correct. or something like that</p> <p>So you said "DH and I as a thank you"</p> <p>You wouldn't say "from I as a thank you"<br /> It would be "from me as a thank you"</p> <p>So "DH and me as a thank you" IS CORRECT!!!</p> <p>that was unrelated... sorry he picked on you haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arghhh-correcting-grammar-really#post-757935 Thu, 02 May 2013 18:33:30 +0000 sera_87 757935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apparently somebody pissed in his cornflakes that morning..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arghhh-correcting-grammar-really#post-757710 Thu, 02 May 2013 17:11:27 +0000 Dandelion 757710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: Ha, that was my first thought, too, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arghhh-correcting-grammar-really#post-757532 Thu, 02 May 2013 15:43:17 +0000 MrsLilybugg 757532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: BAHHH HAH HAH!!!!!!!! I'm saving that for next time! In fact, I may even "bait" this........ ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arghhh-correcting-grammar-really#post-757517 Thu, 02 May 2013 15:38:51 +0000 Freckles 757517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsLilybugg: I would've said, "It's too bad not all x graduates can have the same social skills and grace." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arghhh-correcting-grammar-really#post-757500 Thu, 02 May 2013 15:33:08 +0000 MrsLilybugg 757500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks for letting me vent!!! I mean seriously - it's not like I was using text abbreviations, or wrote "there is bagels in da conference rm ya'll" It was a THANK YOU email to the OFFICE, here are BAGELS. So rude. I could understand if I'd written an email full of grammatical errors to a client. But an interoffice thank you with one "error" (not chock full of 'em/lazy), and getting critiqued by someone in the hallway who wasn't even at the shower in the first place cause he was out that day?!?!? Rude!!! I wish I'd been rude back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arghhh-correcting-grammar-really#post-756889 Thu, 02 May 2013 13:27:06 +0000 Freckles 756889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: @MsLipGloss: I think people err on the side of caution and use "i" because it "sounds" correct.</p> <p>That being said, i would never correct someone's grammar to their face! I would never even correct someone's grammar online (like correcting someone's post) either. It's such a douche-y thing to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arghhh-correcting-grammar-really#post-756698 Thu, 02 May 2013 12:38:50 +0000 Modern Daisy 756698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"Did I say that?

What he said was just rude, I'm sorry :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arghhh-correcting-grammar-really#post-756537 Thu, 02 May 2013 12:03:26 +0000 MrsBrewer 756537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What a jerk!!! When someone brings in treats as a thank you, don't question it or make smart ass comments. Just accept it graciously!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arghhh-correcting-grammar-really#post-756533 Thu, 02 May 2013 12:02:09 +0000 MsLipGloss 756533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Lol - who isn't confused?! It just sounds so clumsy (the you and me thing)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arghhh-correcting-grammar-really#post-756530 Thu, 02 May 2013 11:59:54 +0000 DigAPony 756530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pardon my French, but that guy's an asshole. I am an English teacher, and even I don't correct people's grammar to their faces. How obnoxious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arghhh-correcting-grammar-really#post-756517 Thu, 02 May 2013 11:56:50 +0000 .twist. 756517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: ah! Thanks! haha I have always been confused about the me &amp; ___ one (or ___ &amp; me, apparently!). I got the __ &amp; I one, just not the other one. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arghhh-correcting-grammar-really#post-756508 Thu, 02 May 2013 11:53:50 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 756508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh gosh. agree on giving him no treats!! so annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arghhh-correcting-grammar-really#post-756506 Thu, 02 May 2013 11:53:23 +0000 MsLipGloss 756506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't hate me, BUT . . . while it was totally jerky to correct you to your face, I do think that a lot of folks are too lax on their email grammar standards! </p> <p>@.twist.: And yeah, because it follows a preposition (part of a prepositional phrase), "[blank] and me" is correct (objective case). :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arghhh-correcting-grammar-really#post-756481 Thu, 02 May 2013 11:43:52 +0000 .twist. 756481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: hahaha my thoughts exactly. </p> <p>Is DH &amp; me even correct? I thought if you were using "me" then it would be "Me &amp; DH". I mean, IF we're getting technical. What a jerk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arghhh-correcting-grammar-really#post-756475 Thu, 02 May 2013 11:41:37 +0000 MrsLilybugg 756475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: lol!!! Love this<br /> @MaisyMay: grinchy indeed!! (The "u" was just my lazy phone abbreviation as i type at pedi salon lol) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arghhh-correcting-grammar-really#post-756468 Thu, 02 May 2013 11:39:28 +0000 MaisyMay 756468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lame. I'm surprised he didn't pick at the "u" for "thank you" too. That was kinda grinch-y. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arghhh-correcting-grammar-really#post-756466 Thu, 02 May 2013 11:39:00 +0000 Ra 756466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You sir, get no treats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arghhh-correcting-grammar-really#post-756436 Thu, 02 May 2013 11:25:32 +0000 MrsLilybugg 756436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So yesterday my office threw me a surprise baby shower (yay!!!!). I was super surprised, and super moved! I got really lovely gifts too - bibs, pacifiers, rattle, clothes, and a HUGE gift card that everyone pitched in for to use at a baby store. As a thank you this morning, I brought in breakfast treats and sent an office email thanking everyone for the wonderful surprise, and I left treats out "from DH and I as a thank u".<br /> I run into my ex-supervisor (he is now in semi retirement) and he thanks me for the treats and congratulates me again and then says" I want all ____ graduates (we have same alma mater) to sound as smart as I know they are. Its actually 'DH and me,' and not 'DH and I' because blah blah blah" [insert actual rules he proceeded to dictate].<br /> My reply: "oh my. It was only a casual email" and I.started to walk away and he chuckled.<br /> Way to burst a pregnant woman's bubble!!! Correcting grammar on a "thank u for shower here are treats email"?!? Agh!!! had a pity cry fest in bathroom before going to pedicure. hnph;!! </p>
