I just read the review, not the comments so tell em...Did anyone coment on:
They're not like you and I," comes from William. (Poets don't bother with proper grammar.)
Because 3 years ago I started a whole grammar war on the Internet about that "like you and I"! The funny thing was that it wasn't a war between Americans and Brits since the war divided North America as well as British Isles!
Nobody agreed on that at the time. I even asked my colleagues who taught English and started a new kerfuffle between them at school with it!
I have been told by an English friend that the use of "me" was actually not proper grammar for a long time until recently. A scottish colleague who taught English seconded that, but another teacher said that the use of I was a mistake.
