Zero also has trouble with big words, such as "fulsome" and "enormity".

Almost everyone misspeaks, and I'm not being fair to Obama. As one of the "rich" who pay income taxes, he's not fair to me either.

Next thing we will hear how it IS okay to spell potato with an E.

Now the NYT is rewriting the English language for Obama.

So apparently, Obama is soooo smart that he speaks English as it was originally intended, and not according to the distortions of the last 200 years.

[SonOfDarkSkies]

And this from the NY Times!

[null and void]

Great. Now we’re getting the evil I...

[razorback-bert]

I wonder if “I” and “Me” are used correctly in his books?

[JennysCool]

Obama confuses "me"

Me, too.

[KarlInOhio]

“a very personal decision for Michelle and I”

If the Teleprompter says "Michelle and I" then that's the way English is spoken. Even the rules of language must fall down before The One.

The only words Ø has trouble with are honest words.

I’ve been calling him out since he started to run. This from an “editor” of the Harvard Law Review, LOL !!!

[WayneS]

It wasn’t until the mid-1800s that language mavens began kvetching about “I” and “me.

Wow. The Obamessiah be older than I thought him was.

;^)

[BookmanTheJanitor]

gosh, he uses those words (”I” & “me”) so often...you would think he’d have it down by now...

[GeronL]

For centuries, it was perfectly acceptable to use either “I” or “me”

It was also perfectly acceptable to not bathe for centuries and centuries

I Wanna Talk About Me
Artist(Band):Toby Keith

Yeah, Yeah
That’s right

We talk about your work how your boss is a jerk
We talk about your church and your head when it hurts
We talk about the troubles you’ve been having with your brother
About your daddy and your mother and your crazy ex-lover
We talk about your friends and the places that you’ve been
We talk about your skin and the dimples on your chin
The polish on your toes and the run in your hose
And God knows we’re gonna talk about your clothes
You know talking about you makes me smile
But every once in awhile

I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you you you you, usually, but occasionally
I wanna talk about meeeeee (me,me,me,me-background singers)
I wanna talk about me (me,me-background singers)

We talk about your dreams and we talk about your schemes
your high school team and your moisturizer creme
We talk about your nanna up in Muncie, Indiana
We talk about your grandma down in Alabama
We talk about your guys of every shape and size
The ones that you despise and the ones you idolize
We talk about your heart, bout your brains and your smarts
And your medical charts and when you start
You know talking about you makes me grin
But every now and then

I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you you you you, usually, but occasionally
I wanna talk about me (me,me,me,me- background singers)
I wanna talk about meeeeeeee (me,me- background singers)
(I wanna talk about me- background singers)mmmm me me me me
(I wanna talk about me- background singers)mmmm me me me me
You you you you you you you you you you you you you

I wanna talk about ME!

I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you, you, you, you, usually, but occasionally
I wanna talk about meeeeeeee (me,me,me,me-background singers)
I wanna talk about me (me,me,-background singers)
I wanna talk about me (me,me,me,me,me,me-background singers)
Oh me!

How can the (claimed to be brilliant) author of "Dreams of my Father" consistently make this mistake while speaking?

[Evil Slayer]

But !!

I Won !! So I can say anything I want to !!

I remember when he said “wreck havoc” instead of “wreak havoc” during the campaign.

Not a word from the MSM on this.

[Tax-chick]

Proper declension of pronouns is what sets us apart from the savages. That, and knowing our homophones, of course. And flush toilets.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

How long before IT starts using the royal WE?

[UCANSEE2]

Thanks for posting the article.

The author qoutes some of obama’s misspeaks, then to justify them, qoutes two sentences where the word ‘between’ is specifically used.

The usual way to tell if you should use “me” or “I”, is to leave out the other ‘subject’, and say the sentence.

i.e. “a very personal decision for (Michelle and) I”

“the main disagreement with (John or) I”

“graciously invited (Michelle and) I.”

One must remember that Obama has lived in environments where a different ‘language’ or ‘dialect’ is used.

One that has no ‘rules’, but instead has ‘fads’.

[what's up]

Where’s the NYT explanation of why Ottawa really should be pronounced “Iowa” a la O-Idiot?
