		<description><![CDATA[Good grammar adds to your credibility.  A lot of people speak the King's English and you'll lose them if you sound like an ignorant [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I seem to be ranting today, but I swear if I hear another television person or radio person or actor or anyone in the media say &#8220;between he and I&#8221; or &#8220;to she and myself&#8221; or otherwise use the subjective pronoun when the objective is called for, I&#8217;m going to do something rash.</p>
<p>Would you say &#8220;He gave it to I&#8221;? No.</p>
<p>So why would you say, &#8220;He split it between he and I&#8221;?</p>
<p>Would you say &#8220;He baked it for she&#8221; or &#8220;He baked it for he&#8221; or &#8220;He baked it for I&#8221;?</p>
<p>Of course not.</p>
<p>So, just because you&#8217;re talking about 2 people why should you talk any differently?</p>
<p>He, she, and I are &#8220;subjective pronouns&#8221; and are used as the subject of a sentence (that&#8217;s the person doing the active part of the sentence, like giving, making, having, etc.).</p>
<p>Him, her and me are &#8220;objective pronouns&#8221; and are used as the object of a sentence (often as the object of a predicate.) Remember predicates: for, to, in, of, between, among&#8230;</p>
<p>Words and usage are important. I&#8217;m tired of our extreme political correctness, but I&#8217;m even more tired of people trying to sound important by avoiding &#8220;him, her and me&#8221; when all they&#8217;re doing is illustrating their ignorance.</p>
<p>end of rant.</p>
