Genteel Accusative
Overcorrecting 'me' to 'I' in order
to show
that one
is
educated
.
People say things like 'between
you and I
,' and 'they gave this to my friends and I,' and 'the association gave the
award
to him and I.' They think using the genteel accusative demonstates that they went to college, and it sets my
teeth on edge
.
