Who done it?

Try "I before E" in received...
Added to which I was brought up totally bilingual - English classes in the morning, French in the afternoon. Mercifully, on the whole I am an instinctive speller.
Grammar is a little more confused. DH always says "an" hotel. It drives me mad, but he assures me that it is correct. Try saying "an" holiday or "an" hippo and you get some very funny looks. But then he also persuaded me that "garbage" was pronounced the same way as "garage" - gah - ra -dhe! . I later realised he was teasing [I don't do teasing much...]

I remember a story one of our teachers told of a girl in her class who insisted on saying "I have went". She was made to sit and write 100 times "I have gone", and left a note for the teacher to the effect that "I have written I have gone 100 times, and I have went".

Witzend you are my hero! I shall remember this rule for ever.
I'm generally pretty good at grammar, always know when you should fewer and when less etc but I get confused about 'you and I' , probably because no-one in my family knew either.
I am a very happy bunny.

Yes, but not funny ones I'm afraid!

From my mother, dinged into my head, 'I before E except after C,'
And ditto, about 'between you and I' , etc.,

'Turn it around and you can always see whether it should be 'me'. You'd never say, 'Between I and you,' or, 'with I and Daddy,' etc.
