Anyone else get annoyed when people misuse "[insert name] and I"?

I get really irritated when people incorrectly use the phrase "[insert name] and I," as in the sentence, "This project will be great for you and I." I mean, yes, people were definitely misusing "[insert name] and me," but now I find the "[insert name] and I" misuse equally annoying >=[ Anybody else get annoyed at this too?

I teach fifth graders...i'm okay with "you and I" it sure beats "I and Kyle" (which I always correct)

I always try and think of the sentence without anyone else, and then when that's correct, add the other person.

Ex:

I'm going to the store.

James and I are going to the store.

Would you like to go out to the movies with me?

Would you like to go out to the movies with James and me?

I don't know, always worked for me.

LOL My DAD HATES it. hehehe If I want to get him going (I'm 43 but its still fun) I will do it on purpose. Lay lie is another one that gets him going. But the funniest situation was when I was correcting my daughter at a very young age....6 or 7 I think. She had said "Katy and me went to grandmas....." I said, "No, Katy and I..." She looked me dead in the eyes and said...."Mom, you werent even there!"

Gotta love kids :)

nasuoni, I do the same thing to double-check I am using the right form.

I am not annoyed by this whe other people misuse it though...there are SO many other, better things to be annoyed by. Like dangling participles.

At least 'me' and 'I' often are properly.  
'Myself' is rarely used correctly.

> Mom is making breakfast for Tony and myself me.  
> Tony and myself I will eat breakfast at my mom's house. 

The only two correct uses of 'myself' are below and both require having used 'I' in the subject.
> Reflection - I will make breakfast for Tony and myself. 
> Emphasis - I painted it myself.

If we're going to get pedantic about grammar, my personal pet hate is the incorrect use of the words 'fewer' and 'less'.

It has recently changed but for years supermarket express checkouts invited shoppers with '10 items orless'.... when grammatically the signs should have read '10 items or fewer

It particularly sets my teeth on edge when it comes from TV reporters, politicians or other people that you'd assume were better educated than most. 

And don't get me started on apostrophes.....  Greengrocers offering CABBAGE'S and APPLES' always make me wonder... 'cabbage's what?' 

I can never remember the rules for lie/lay. So when you see me flub that one, just look the other way.

I hate all grammar! DEATH TO GRAMMAR!

*starts his own language, calls it HKlish*

So, lyk, I and you should goes to the Store to fetch one glasses of water. And then us should to go the Video Arcade and playing Invading Space. Totally!

Along the lines of 'fewer', you'll see 'amount of' when whats meant is 'number of'.   

Apostrophes - .  Ive an aversion to the awkward pinky stretch because I type with my hands practically facing each other and too often misjudge the reach, hitting the return key by mistake.  My curved keyboard makes my typing easier but the stretch worse so I dont in casual online usage.

 HKlish is Esperanto.

I'm an English teacher and I've got to the point where I'm picking up my students/friends bad grammar. It's pathetic. :(

It's the same here!  Well I'm not an English teacher, but I always consider myself pretty good at grammar. XD  And then everyone around me speaks incorrectly, which makes my grammar more terrible =[

I'm pretty well read and have a fairly large vocabulary. It's funny the number of times I've been asked what a word means. I'm always surprised at the number of people who can't figure out the meaning of a word by its usage.

The worst?  

Tomorrow is Jerry and I's anniversary. 

Jerry and I's?  Seriously?

 There is a total apostrophe epidemic. I hate it so much.

This may be a bit over the top, but am I the only one who thinks that the correct response to "How are you doing?" should not be "Good"?  Good is an adjective, and the response to that question, especially if used in a sentence, should be an adverb (I am doing well).  Or am I just thinking about it too much? 

You are correct. The answer should be "I am doing well". If someone answers with a one word answer to your question, they almost always say good. It is such a frequent error that to hear the answer well sounds funny to the ear.

Hah!  I knew it!!!

 I was taught "Chickens lay, Dogs lie"

But I still can't seem to use either properly. This is another one that drives me crazy. If someone has a better analogy than chickens and dogs, I would love to hear it!
