I can't stand the acronyms 'DH' and 'DW' people constantly use on here. Sounds fake.

Sounds worse than the "not my job"

I think these days it's "Not my circus, not my monkey."

Then you will see how ridiculous it sounds. You would never say, "Me went somewhere." And thus you would never say, "Bobby and me went somewhere."

You would say, "I went somewhere." Or else you would say, "Bobby and I went somewhere."

Same thing as if you were tagging yourself in a facebook picture or something like that. So many people say things like, "Here's a picture of Bobby and I." That's totally wrong. You would never say (hopefully - lol) "Here's a picture of I." You would say, "Here's a picture of me."

"Bobby McGee & I" never would have become as popular a song...

I find it is what it is useful.

Reach out, as in: I'm going to 'reach out' to.....

Every response to a question must begin with: 'So.......'

"Bobby and I" sounds ridiculous.

No it doesn't. The "me and ... " thing is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Ending too many sentences in "right?" when pontificating.

Sure it beats "ya know?" or "know what I'm saying?" for about the first 5 times you use it, but can get equally as annoying when overused.

Because that is the grammar rule. And yes, you would say, "I hurt myself". You wouldn't say, "Me hurt myself".

Romantic relationships happen when you are not looking.

Complete falsehood. Especially for men, who need to do the approaching.

Actually, I gave you an example that proves it is not the grammar rule.
