"Me and my uncle, went riding down, south Colorado, west Texas bound ..." sounds much better, poetically-speaking, than "My uncle and I went riding down...", but which is correct, grammatically? Aww, never mind. Carry on. Edited March 9, 2017 by Thomas Graves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if the Grateful Dead want to say it that way, who am I to correct them? They know what they're doing. (Besides, I'm a follower of descriptive grammar, not prescriptive.)

Why did Shelley and Lovelady have to stay together, wherever that might have been? Because they later said that they had? -- Tommy edited and bumped -- TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
