Anonymous  +  521714 Sun, 01 Jun 08 04:46 PM When browsing a friend's facebook profile, I noticed that under a photo, he had written "My friend and I". Should "I" not be replaced by "me"? Thanks! Anonymous

Or you can just take it the way some native speakers (or "a lot of native speakers", depending on the point of view) take it. They just use "me" and "I" interchangeably when in the form of "Someone and I" or "Someone and me", so both of them are the same and they mean: This is my friend and I This is my friend and me. Whether using "I" that way is wrong or not depends on the context and on your dialect. Kooyeen Joined on Thu, Dec 22 2005 Italy Senior Member 4,981 Parental Advisory / Explicit Posts
