- bmn__ 8y ago"He took care of my brother and I." "He took care of my brother and me." Which is correct? Remove the non-self part. "He took care of I." "He took care of me." "Me" is correct because it's the object. ---- "My brother and I climbed a hill." "My brother and me climbed a hill." Which is correct? Remove the non-self part. "I climbed a hill." "Me climbed a hill." "I" is correct because it's the subject. ---- This is a real grammatical rule. It is prescriptive, that's what grammar means. You can keep not believing it, but that does not make it any less true.
- __blockcipher__ 8y agoRemoving the non-self part is a made up rule. That's my point. I am very familiar with the rule and can apply it myself quite easily. However, the rule is total bullshit.
