You and I, no wait, You and me, I think

So many people think they sound smart when they say 'You and I' instead of 'You and me'.  Unfortunately, they sound stupid.

Many times "you and me" is CORRECT.  Yes, occasionally you SHOULD say "you and me", "Mary and me", "her brother and me", etc.  When you incorrectly say "You and I" instead of the correct "You and me", you come across as trying too hard to impress.

I respect people who can't quite figure out when to use "I" or "me" and they just say 'me'.  It's okay.  It's more natural and doesn't sound like you purposely made the choice to say it.

Between you and me, inappropriately using 'you and I' makes you look like an uneducated dumb-dumb who never reads a book.

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING

"Dinner was amazing!"
"You look amazing!"
"Our trip was amazing!"
"The party was amazing!"

For more than five years now, the word 'amazing' has been wildly overused by EVERYONE.   There were even a bunch of websites stating how overused the word 'amazing' was becoming.

'Amazing' REMAINS overused and it makes no sense.  If both the Grand Canyon and your dinner last night were amazing, how do I know what you mean exactly?

Start using adjectives, which are words to specifically describe your experience.
For example, maybe your dinner was delicious because there was a variety of gluten-free food choices that you enjoyed eating.  That says a lot more than 'amazing'.

Stop saying 'amazing' and start being specific about what was so amazing.

Whole Nother. Heh?

I'm watching a newscast now and this professional journalist just said ...whole nother....  not 'whole other' or 'another', but 'whole nother'.

I'm always afraid when people get away with saying something over and over and over again (no matter how incorrect), that eventually it becomes acceptable.

Please don't let 'whole nother' become acceptable!

Why is a sandwich known as a Sammie?

When I first heard Rachael Ray call a sandwich a 'sammie', I thought I misunderstood.  Was she saying 'sannie'?  Was there a thing all the cool kids knew about 'sammie' that I didn't?

Well, it's five years later and I still have zero idea why someone would call a sandwich a 'sammie'.  Perhaps it is a Cool Kid thing, or maybe not.
Maybe it's a Not-the-Shiniest-Penny-at-the-Bank thing.
