But the opening message should be 'of x and myself', or what have you, rather than '...and I'.

 

Who knows, perhaps maybe many an aspiring scientifically minded pedant has turned away at the door in disgust.

:confused:

 

(what?)

Heh heh heh heh heh

I be thinking the same thing man.

when is it you use "...and I" then?

Whenever you would use "I" if the extra people weren't in the sentence.

 

IE - you would not say "on behalf of me" or "on behalf of I", it's "on behalf of myself".

 

Add in extra entities and it stays the same.

When the nouns are nominative.

 

IE when they're the subject of the verb, or the conjunction (I think that's the term) (ie object) of the verb 'to be'.

 

eg. 'Lisa and I went to the play, the play was seen by Lisa and me.'

 

'It is I!'
