About Me

me
Function: pronoun
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English me; akin to Old High German mih me, Latin me, Greek me, Sanskrit ma
objective case of I
usage: Me is used in many constructions where strict grammarians prescribe "I". This usage is not so much ungrammatical as indicative of the shrinking range of the nominative form: "me" began to replace "I" sometime around the 16th century largely because of the pressure of word order. I is now chiefly used as the subject of an immediately following verb. Me occurs in every other position: absolutely "who, me?", emphatically "me too", and after prepositions, conjunctions, and verbs, including be "come with me", "you're as big as me", "it's me". Almost all usage books recognize the legitimacy of me in these positions, especially in speech; some recommend "I" in formal and especially written contexts after be and after as and than when the first term of the comparison is the subject of a verb.

Best Kept Secrets: vol. 1

Remember my headline that says "happiness is a warm pun."? It's just one example of my secret "gun/pun" theory. I say theory because I'm sure there are still untested examples out there that haven't...

I have an olive/army/faded military hat that I wear sometimes. "SOMETIMES" being the key word there. I know it's no big deal and I'm sure no one cares enough to have noticed, but if you were to gath...

Delirium, a splendid state... One hour and thirty minutes of sleep goes far enough, and the buzz you catch throughout the following day is superb, especially if you start the day off with three huge ...
