The important part is that she is helping her mother and her siblings with Home School. Why does everyone think they know what's best for Carlin and Evan? She is close to the same age as Erin, Whitney and Alyssa when they got married and they're all doing great and so will Carlin and Evan. No matter what they decide I support them.

Therefore, Carlin was correct when she said "it's a win for mom and me." I was public schooled as well, and this is a (super helpful) trick my 4th grade teacher taught us. It's also taught in the grammar book "A grammar book for you and I-- oops, me!" by C. Edward Good, which helpfully showcases the rule in the title! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-24806193948796409032018-06-20T19:25:49.544-05:002018-06-20T19:25:49.544-05:00Mom and I is still correct Carlin, you had it righ...Mom and I is still correct Carlin, you had it right to begin with! :) Handy little rule of thumb is to take the other person out-- you wouldn't say "it's a win for I" you'd say "it's a win for me."

The easiest way to think of it is this: leave out the other person, and think only of I vs. me. If you would normally say “I” then you should still say “I” even if someone else is also mentioned, likewise with “me”. Carlin’s sentence was about her online school being “a win-win for (mom and) me”. She was right the first time, and wrong to correct it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-46958616221918835942018-06-20T17:43:05.158-05:002018-06-20T17:43:05.158-05:00Yeah, so Carlin was incorrect.

"For" is a preposition, which will always have an object. If the object is a pronoun, it will be in objective case (her, him, me, us, them). If you're using it as the subject of the sentence, it would be she, he, I, we, they. "Mom and I went to the store." "They bought groceries for Mom and me." You can test it by taking out the other person. You wouldn't say, "Me went to the store" or "They bought groceries for I."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-40994878273258231532018-06-20T15:11:27.190-05:002018-06-20T15:11:27.190-05:00I find it interesting that they have problems with...I find it interesting that they have problems with this, because they use the same homeschool curriculum that we use. I can attest to the fact that it is very strong on emphasizing correct grammar, and it's year after year. This leads me to the conclusion that their parents weren't strong on grammar, and they are influenced more by what they've grown up hearing than by their school work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-34005312358444908852018-06-20T15:08:58.698-05:002018-06-20T15:08:58.698-05:00People get confused between when to use the subjec...People get confused between when to use the subjective case and when to use the objective case.
