Here's a better explanation of usage from Wiki: Beginners often confuse "I" and "me" because they mean the same thing, but even native speakers can struggle when there is more than one subject or object. Study the errors below so you can avoid making similar mistakes in your writing. Jack and me got home late. In this sentence, there are two subjects "Jack and me," but me is the objective case. As it's a subject, the correct pronoun is "I." A good way to check is to remove the other people at the beginning of the sentence and re-read the sentence to see if it sounds right ("Me got home late" does not!). Most people can find the right word by ear this way. The puppy licked my sister and I. Here "I" is used as a direct object-the person receiving the licks but "me" is the right word to use as a direct object. Again, try removing all other people after the verb except "I" and re-read the sentence to see if it sounds right (again, "The puppy licked I" does not sound right). The snobby girl thinks she's above my family and I, but she's not. This is another example of how multiple objects adds confusion. Here "I" is incorrectly used as the object of the preposition "above," but it should be "me." It wasn't me. This one trips up a lot of people as it can't be checked by ear, like the examples above. Though this is a common colloquial phrase, it is not grammatically correct. In this sentence, "was" is a form of the verb to be that sets up a predicate nominative, so the writer should use "I," which is in the nominative case. Suzy and me are best friends. This is another example of an error because of a plural subject. "I" should be used because it's the correct choice when it comes to subjects. It can also be helpful to consider the position of the word in the sentence. "I" is used before the verb, while "me" is almost always used after the verb (the exception being the predicate nominative).

Sorry no - "me is/am/are having" is not good grammar

Son no. 2 took the 911 Turbo (600+BHP) to fill it up with fuel yesterday so I will use the other car for the next 2 or 3 days. He brought it back a bit ashen-faced with the comment: "F*** ME, That car is fast, dangerously fast !"

I think wifey's got the virus, she's painted one of the walls in the lounge red. To me this shows she has a distinct lack of taste.

Instead of "Myself and the management team (5 of us) are having friday drinks at 3:30 today over skype " I would prefer " The management team and I (5 of us) are having Friday drinks at 3:30 today over Skype " but because forums are not that errr... formal, I think we can let that go. Thanks for pointing it out though

There's a member on here whose signature contains the phrase "You don't have to blow my candle out to make yours burn brighter" That's very relevant to the 80:20 argument.

Our neighbours over the road have both had it ... wife late 50s early 60s, all the symptoms but now recovered, husband early 70s, very mild symptoms and also back to normal after 2 weeks self isolating. Glad I live in a rural area where it's quiet but people can still get out within the new rules.

My niece is one of the doctors on duty at one of the major hospitals in Sydney Australia. They're all trying to keep upbeat about the current workload. She sent her mum, my sister, a retired doctor who lives in UK, a message recently about some of the jokes going about in Oz. Here's the best one: Elderly patient in a hospital bed asks the nurse through his surgical mask "Hope you can help me please, are my bo11ocks black" ... so the nurse puts her head under the bedsheets, checks him out and then replies "no you're all OK down below Mr Smith"The patient then removes his mask and says "Well that's great thanks nurse but I only asked "Are my results Back"
