and one last thing, amelia has remembered roughly how to do the 'she and me' thing;
Nope, this doesn't work; it should be "...or was it she and I?". The trick here is to reverse the order of the fragments, making it "It was she and I," which is correct.
Sorry to keep this grammar thread going, but I'd say that's still wrong.
So am I, but I can't let this rest here!!
I think it should be "...or was it her and me?"
No. "...she and I" is corect.
. "... or was it I?" sounds silly.
Then again in that "Who Killed Cock Robin" poem thing, you have the line "It was I, said the sparrow". But I reckon that's probably wrong, too.
No. That is correct. "It is I" may sound strange to you, but it is correct grammar. mars@pe.net +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
