       On 2018 Sep 28 11:56:52, you wrote to Michael Dukelsky:               AH> What I hear Mark saying is that the word "me" indicates the receiver        AH> of an action, not the person who caused the action.              yes... maybe my response would have been better written as               "I" did something. "me" can't do anything.              i dunno... my mother used to get me with that saying when i'd use the wrong       form... then i learned to flip them around or shorten them and see if they       made sense... for example:               he went to the store with she and i.              flip/short               he went to the store with i. <- wrong        he went to the store with me. <- correct              so the original above should have been               he went to the store with she and me.              but that's still not right... so another flip/short...               he went to the store with she. <- wrong        he went to the store with her. <- correct              so now we have the proper form which would be               he went to the store with her and me.              or have i really frakled that up being sans c0ffee and having only ~5 hours of       sleep?              )\/(ark              Always Mount a Scratch Monkey       Do you manage your own servers?
