John and who? I know the name starts with "I", but that's not enough of a hint. Is it Ivy? Is it Ilene? Isabella? Is it a secret, and that's why you won't tell?

Good comeback. I love it.
"I'm talking about John and myself's relationship. Don't you understand English?"
"I'm talking about John and myself's relationship. Don't you understand English?"
An even better comeback.
The I's have it.
It feels like fingernails on the blackboard when I hear it misused that way, and that happens all the time now, even in the public media. One wonders whether these people ever took a real grammar course.
Over the years I've grown a bit careless with language use, but I'm still aware of it when I see it in myself.
And on another thread, "I feel badly when..." (I really can't take it anymore.)
There ought to me a national campaign to knock that one out. Huge billboards that say I FEEL BAD. (Hey, wasn't there a song like that?)
I really hate to hear someone say, "I feel badly." You mean your sense of touch is impaired? Some people see badly or they hear badly but most people don't feel badly=have a poor sense of touch. Yet they say they do and they don't mean it because they can't speak PROPER ENGLISH!
Yet if WE say it correctly, they thing we're wrong. I feel bad that they can't talk.
