I've got students who use 'I's' for 'my'. Sigh. They know better, believe me -- it's just laziness. <BR/><BR/>I'm a grammar nerd and I can't bear hearing 'I' used for 'me'. An acquaintance once corrected me when I said "Want to go there with XX and me?" She felt it would be more polite for me to use 'I' there; she didn't even get it when I quipped, "Want to go there with I?"

If so, I might have inadvertently been an offender but the thing is I DO KNOW the correct usage but sometimes -like in the heat of passion or fast typing may put the wrong one in my text. If I happen to re-read a sentence and see my error, I do correct it but you know how it goes when editing your own stuff too -tend to have things slip by the old eyeballs then. <BR/>I hate seeing It's and its used interchangeably and thus, incorrectly. There are a few others that set my teeth on edge but can't think of them right off hand now.Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410616401062748816.post-80900358538390481062009-02-02T13:10:00.000-08:002009-02-02T13:10:00.000-08:00Oh, man - I'm going to go reread all of my blogs a...Oh, man - I'm going to go reread all of my blogs and make sure I'm not the culprit. I think I'm OK with the "there, their, they're" controversy. I often end sentences with "it" or "as". I correct these errors if I'm formally writing, (a book, letter, or paper), but if I'm just fooling around on a blog, I'll let them stand.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12396540555696283171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410616401062748816.post-73875526669535175902009-02-02T12:32:00.000-08:002009-02-02T12:32:00.000-08:00should of, would of could of irritate the stuffing...should of, would of could of irritate the stuffing out of me.
