Re: Digital Negatives & PT/PD / language & Grammar Police
Judy, I would have replied sooner, but apparently not all the posts to the list are reaching me—perhaps this is due to the flood of "Karen Emails". Karen promised that she would be back at her desk by January 8, but here it is January 9 and they are still coming through. I stand corrected regarding my use of the English language. You are correct—I should have said "Dick & me" instead of "Dick & I"—it's not that I don't give a dick, I had a momentary lapse in grammar. Thanks for pointing this out to me. I think perhaps the list should award you the honorary title of Grammar Policeperson. I hope that my error has not caused any sustained state of shock.

I seem to recall that the "rule" was that the first person singular was "I" when it was the subject and "me" when it was the object of the verb. Could please confirm/clarify??? on or off, Thanks! Ray
