Mom rule: take out all other personal pronouns

Would you say "I went to the store @ then it's "my fiancé and I went..."

Would you say "they hung out with me" then it's "they hung out with my fiancé and me."

I would type more but fuck it I am drunk and I am Gonna get laid, BUSY

But the protip is, take everyone else out of the equation and determine what would be grammatically correct

Then add everyone else back in

"Black and i" such a pet peeve

Ysy wine

I am so glad that I don't have dvh on this blog.

On the other hand, any of my students who see a comment on my blog that says "Fuck it, I am drunk and I am gonna get laid" would definitely read more to see what it is about grammar that turns you on so!

Anyway, glad to see that the current guy is worthwhile.
