English is weird
Method of Madness:
I often find that the people who do that often think that "and I" is always correct while "and me" is never correct, ignoring the very easy method of determining which to use. (For non-native English speakers, you use whichever one you'd use if nobody else was involved. So "I went to the cinema" becomes "pwhodges and I went to the cinema" and "the film was a disappointment for me" becomes "the film was a disappointment for pwhodges and me")
Also, now I'm wondering if "a disappointment for me" is wrong somehow. Should it be "to me"? Bah.
pwhodges:
Either is fine; "to" is possibly more common in my experience.
Method of Madness:
Cool. Shame the hypothetical movie was a letdown, though.
Gyrre:
In the words of Marcus Madera from Metacarpolis, "Curse the lack of second person singular in English."
Method of Madness:
Wait, what? I thought it was missing a second person plural.
