JaKiri Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radical Edward Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 when is it you use "...and I" then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaKiri Posted March 23, 2003 Author Share Posted March 23, 2003 Originally posted by Radical Edward when is it you use "...and I" then? 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!'
