How about healthy food? (As George Carlin once pointed out, food is not healthy. It's dead. It might be healthful, but it certainly isn't healthy).

Me and my girlfriend went out. I hear professional people in the broadcasting world and elsewhere who do not know the correct use of the personal prounoun.

I's takin' it over to her house. (I presume it's "I was"), and I can't stand dropped endings. Does it really take that much effort to say "taking, walking, hanging eating...you get the idea.

You know, "it ain't no good" to be sloppy about the use of language.
