From: Alex Eckelberry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 2:19 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: grammer question "Grab Andy or me" is the correct usage. Any reference to yourself is always at the end of a series. Examples: Bill, John and I went to the beach. He hit Jim and me. As far as "I" vs. "me" goes, an informal approach is to delete the reference to the other person and see if it works. In this case, "I" is certainly not the correct usage. If you're curious, the technical reason is that "me" is objective case (like "whom"), vs. "I", which is always subjective case. Objective pronouns receive an action. You throw a ball to "me" or "him". Subjective case pronouns act as a subject. "I" threw the ball.

My boss mailed out this sentence: When someone is out, please grab me or Andy and... My point was it should be "Andy or I" in this particular use. Who's right, as he just called me Gomer (he's from Ohio and my neck is very red)...
