Anyone want to get started on "him and I", she and me", "him and her", "she and him" usage? Makes me crazy! I even start doubting myself because I hear this incorrect usage so often. My mother and "me" go nuts with this stuff.

Have you ever heard "my's" as in "Bob and my's vacation" or "his and my's car?"
Yes I have! also, "Bob and I's meeting..." And -- I kid you not -- this was in a memo sent via e-mail in a corporate setting.
I have found that even among my most educated friends (and people I don't actually know), these are the most prevalent grammar mistakes they make. Like I said, I'm kind of a grammar Nazi, and I still have to be careful with this.
Reasons given in the Economics Forum explaining why people are in debt:

I can understand one or two of his/her multiple personalities being idiots... but all of them? Hard to believe.

More and more often, I see people posting comments about something being, "in tact", when the correct usage would be, "intact". As with many types of language mistakes, I have to believe that this type of mistake is the result of not reading good literature, or perhaps not reading anything at all.
