Seventh grade English teacher Mrs. Kimzey was relentless with all the young men. Ruled with a fist of iron.
I bad a similar argument recently with some locals in which the phrase in question was “given to you and me.” I reflexively reverted back to that argument until I realized that the “to” changed the word from a noun to an adverb. Well, at least I’m awake now. Lol. Have a great weekend.
