npub1knkyxglwcnhcn3a47tahtc0zfnpuz43tcj58hqtz4gc0saxqqrhqaf8et6 (npub1knk…8et6) I don't stand in the way of linguistic evolution. Most of that can happen without compromising the fundamental rules of grammar. Where errors (like '.. with her and I' or 'Her and I went...' which I hear almost daily in the media, but not usually from professional broadcasters) are widely used, I try to exert some social pressure. At some point, critical mass is reached & I have to accept that some very awkward, ugly new form is now in 'common use'. But ignorance is the big problem.
