Y'know, next to those lousy tailgaters, this has got
to be the pet peeve of all pet peeves for me- people
who misuse "I" in this way.  You know, saying "That
belongs to my wife and I" as opposed to "That belongs
to me and my wife."  I think it's actually a form of
pretension.  I guess I'm surrounded on a daily basis
by people who are under pressure to sound educated but
don't make the effort to be so.

Or maybe I'm a snob...

I, myself, and I,

Kelvin
