Small grammar rant
What is so difficult about using the proper pronouns when writing, or indeed when speaking? Why is this so difficult for so many people these days? I'm reading a story that just included the following sentence of dialogue: "If you don’t hear from either George or I, head straight for the Zanga village." . . . Me. The proper pronoun in this case is "me". ME, ME, ME! Fucking-a, why is this so fucking difficult?! It pulled me straight out of the story. Admittedly I'm a little tired of the story right now anyway. It's very good, but it's like watching a tv show with this great A-story and absolutely no B-story. It's unbalanced, and that makes it a little boring, IMO. It's a shame because otherwise I've really liked it (despite some other odd grammatical choices). ::sigh::
