What's Your Pet Hate

Look, it's really simple. "I" is the nominative case, although English grammarians prefer the term subjective case, of the first person singular, whereas "me" is the objective case of same, right? So when you are the object of the verb, you use "me", and when you are the subject, you use "I", OK? So "I went", you are the subject; "went with me" you are the object. The rules don't change when you add other people into the sentence. See? It's dead easy :rolleyes:

:D

Yeah. Simple, SilentC.:rolleyes:

But where's Bert?

Bert is here with me.
I am here with Bert.
Bert and I are here.
Here is Bert and me.
Bert is here and so am I.
Bert has left the building, leaving me behind.
I hate Bert, he pisses me off.

See Digger,
see Digger run,
see Digger run with Pam and Sam.

You must've had the Aussie version of the books, Waldo. The ones I recall had Spot, Dick and Jane. ;)

That is going back a looooong way though :(

G'day SilentC,

Ah yes, it was Dick and Jane but my books said Digger. Different state different books or names maybe?

Bad drivers whinging about how bad other drivers are.

Telemarketers

I hate to see government cars driving around on the weekend carrying the family and fishing rods heading for a quiet spot of fishing and a picnic when we know damn well that these people are given company cars for work purposes.....

Wankers on mobile phones while driving...........

Telemarketers that call from India......

Crappy reality television...... oops make that all television.

I hate having not seen a good threads for ages, so that by the time I can make my comment, it is pretty redundant. How did I miss this thread? It is a study of our society, in itself.
Hate people not willing to take responsibility for their actions or decisions.
Love pedantic grammarians who won't even finish a sentence with a preposition becuase that is an error up with which they shall not put :D .
(Thanks, Churchill)
