Sorry, crew, but this time it's not a matter of opinion -- grammar rules are not nearly as flexible as a ref's "judgment". When using pronouns in combination (such as the situation Mark refers to above) you use the same pronouns you would use if they were used singly. Original quote was, "...and that includes you and myself as well." If you were to use a single pronoun in that sentence, it would correctly read, "...and that includes me as well." When you add in the second pronoun you still use, "me" , so... " ...and that includes you and me as well."
There are a very few on this board who adhere strictly in their posts to proper grammatical structure, and Mark Dexter is one of them. I'm wondering if that shouldn't give him at least a little added credibility!?!? Especially when he uses "inferred" and "myriad" properly. And even spelled correctly. Wow!! Way to go, M.D.
