Actually, you are incorrect. In that context, I am grammatically correct.

The rule to keep in mind for the difference is to take out the other person and see which one sounds correct:






If it had been at the beginning of the sentence, then it would be the other way around:

I would like to see that in some form of published grammar manual, but I'll take it at face value and bow to you. If it's true, then I'll be damned! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

All this confusion can easily be avoided if you just remove the second party from the sentences where you feel tempted to use “myself” as an object or feel nervous about “me.” You wouldn’t say, “The IRS sent the refund check to I,” so you shouldn’t say “The IRS sent the refund check to my wife and I” either.

Thanks to the article I finally jumped on-board. Some of my old guild mates had mentioned the EQEMU back when it first came out, however I had other things going on at the time.

The guys who put this all together have done an amazing job, no question their love for the game is shinning through and thanks to them we can enjoy the glory days. I'm really excited to learn more and will be perusing the forums here to learn a little more.

Good article.

I am sure mcquaid and the other originals would be happy that we are preserving what they created.

I would not be surprised in the least if they played here.

The biggest thing I learned here -> the following confirmation that the intent is to follow the original timeline! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ...

Quote:
Nilbog says they intend to unlock two expansions--The Ruins of Kunark, and the Scars of Velious, matching the timeline as closely as they can, opening the expansions roughly a year apart.

Actually, it is in fact me not I.

I want to thank .... for chatting with (remove Nilbog and) me.

[YES] For chatting with me.

[NO] For chatting with I.

The rule is that you come after those listed as the nouns or direct objects... and that to determine the appropriate use of I or me you remove others in the list and form the sentence with you as the only noun/D.O.

Edit: My god, the grammar nazi in me wanted to jump on this so quickly, that I hadn't caught Rogean's absolutely correct defense of his use of me and not I. Sorry for the late back-up!
Double-Edit: And with my lack of evidence other than my own personal experience with the rules of grammar, my back-up is unnecessary and trite at this stage of the thread. I may just remove it.
Followup-Edit: Nah.

Truth.
