There is no “I” in team – but there is “ME”
by Abby Wilkerson
Your momma wasn’t right.
In many instances, she was. But not when she said, “It’s ‘Joe and I,’ not ‘Joe and me.’” Sometimes me is just fine – but only if you’re the object or subject of the sentence.
Simply – leave Joe out of it.
You would never say, “Call I when you get the chance.” Thus, nor would you say, “Call Joe and I when you get the chance.”
And for the love of commas – “myself” is NOT a college word for me. Don’t punt and use “myself” because you’re not sure if it’s “me” or “I.” Myself is only correct in two instances – when used for emphasis, and when writing like Carrie Bradshaw:
“Many consider me annoying, but I myself enjoy correcting grammar. Which brings me to ask myself – why?”
