Have it your way …

… Between You and I, I Didn’t Just Make a Mistake – Lingua Franca - Blogs - The Chronicle of Higher Education. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)



So Pinker's specious argument takes pride of place over centuries of grammar.

  1. And this is a straightforward rule to learn. Use the subject pronoun when it refers to the doer and the object pronoun when it refers to the one on whom the action is done. For example, I gifted him a book. Apart from this, use subject pronoun for comparisons. He is taller than I. Use the object pronoun after a preposition, that is, "between you and me".

  2. I guess we're just more of those grammar mavens the author scorns.
