I'm no grammar genius, but does anybody notice how often people destroy the use of "and I" vs "and me" in the English language? I think American public schools have a tendency to say "ALWAYS 'and I' " without really giving a reason, and NEVER really teaching the alternative. Thing is (I'm sure you guys know this):

• "and I" replaces where you'd put "I"; [Bob and I went to the store]
• "and me" replaces "me"; [Here's a picture of Bob and me]

 
It's just a common error that seems to get made ALL the time.

WE NEED MORE SPELLING NAZIS.
 

English being my second language, I don't see the issue here.
 
Anyone?

My pet peeve is the rampant convolving of "bring" and "take". Not to mention the abomination that is "brung". "That" versus "which" bugs me, too, but it's sufficiently gray to let it slide.
 
batsbrew, you mis-spelled "SPELLING". It should have been spelled "G-R-A-M-M-A-R", as that is the thread topic. You're welcome. (clicks heels and salutes)

I fink he's makin the point that mericans don't teach proper English. English people already know this, but it's certainly refreshing to hear from a US citizen who actually cares.
 
Your English is actually so good, that I mostly forget that it's not your native tongue and is a credit to you. By way of being seen to make a reciprocal effort I would just like to say.. le singe est sur l'arbre.
 
 

What gets me is when someone uses the word "less" when it should have been "fewer."  If I could see that less, I would have fewer times when I would be irritated.
