It's so easy to get it right, too! If you are going to say "x and I/me", just mentally miss out the "x and" and see which of I or me sounds correct.

The way `literally` has become used for emphasis in recent years can be unintentionally humourous...I literally laughed my head off the other day!

Tyke51, I heard an even worse 'literally' the other day - a young girl 'literally died'. I was relieved that she was a Dr Who-type person, able to reincarnate herself to tell us!

Hi Malone, I think a football player once said `I`m literally over the moon`... `Colemanballs` in Private Eye used to be full of these gems

"One of my biggest gripes, is "gripes", or "grapes" as you pronounce it", the Cockney leader of the Greengrocers Union, Ivan Napple was telling me at his market-stall yesterday, "or should it be grape's".

"I have been working hard on my pronunciation and apostrophe's and should like to thank Elle, Malone and others for their help" he added.

Jigjag, thanks for your moan ...moan-related post. I particularly liked Ivan Napple. He's maybe related to my good friend, Ivor Aspberay?

I think I might post this clue on every single Forum thread today. It's from the Sunday Times crossword today.

23 D. Fear the sound of a blade (3).
