| 397967 | 2005-10-23 20:08:00 | "A woman without her man is nothing". Put punctuation into that sentence in 2 different ways, and you get 2 completely different meanings. |

| 397970 | 2005-10-25 20:22:00 | I dislike the prepositions on the end of sentences and the misuse of "I" and "ME" in speech. Found it: All this confusion can easily be avoided if you just remove the second party from the sentences where you feel tempted to use “myself” as an object or feel nervous about “me.” You wouldn’t say, “The IRS sent the refund check to I,” so you shouldn’t say “The IRS sent the refund check to my wife and I” either. And you shouldn’t say “to my wife and myself.” The only correct way to say this is, “The IRS sent the refund check to my wife and me.” Still sounds too casual? Get over it. From: www.wsu.edu |
