Message: [QUOTE="Michael Wojcik, post: 4220604"] True, which is an argument for avoiding it (or correcting it, as John did in his edit). Though it's not quite as grating as, say, the use of "would" to indicate the subjunctive mood. ("If I would have knowed there's some cupcakes, I would have totally ate them all.") I've pretty much given up on nominative/objective case of pronouns as a shibboleth ("between you and I") - I suspect more people in the US now ignore traditional pronoun case than attempt to apply it - but attentive writers do still try to watch agreement in number, I think.
