Standard Mistake, Standard Correction

Not standard circumstance.
The problem with this error is that it’s two errors (putting yourself first and using “me” instead of “I”) and grade school teachers tend to correct both at once. Consequently, their students tend to use “I” even when they should use “me.”
So:
- Use “I” when it’s a subject
- Use “me” when it’s the object of a preposition
- Be humble—mention the other guy first.
