Seems we have a theme for today … he/she, him/her, I/me
- In a movie synopsis: “…more educated and wealthier than him have failed.” Should be: he.
- In a TV Commercial for Chef Michael’s Dog Food: “My name is Chef Michael and my dog Bailey and me love to hang out in the kitchen …” Should be: I.
- On a Facebook comment about cupcakes: “Bring Todd & I cupcakes!” Should be: me. This one was already tweeted, but it fits today’s theme and leads us to a new poll.
- In song lyrics: Loggins & Messina – Danny’s Song: “He will be like she and me …” We’re not even going to “should” on this one … We love the song, but this goof makes us crazy!
Grammar Police a.k.a. GrammarCops 
The good folks at Chef Michael’s have edited their commercial! It now says “Bailey and I.” I was surprised to hear the change, but heartened by it. I wonder if GrammarCops had anything to do with embarrassing them into making the edit. I hope the advertising agency picked up the cost.
Thanks for your comment. We also noticed that change not too long after our post. We’d like to take credit for precipitating the correction … what the heck, why not? Sure, we did it :-). No charge!
