Me and................

It doesn't bother me. In fact, I think it sounds rather outdated in everyday conversation.

An in-law, a retired primary school teacher, is forever correcting her grandchildren (and their parents) if they mis-use this, but she regularly says things such as 'Joan went with Bill and I".
The parents love to point out to her that I is wrong in that sentence, but she doesnt like it at all when she is the one bring corrected. 😂

I haven't notice the 'me and my ...' very much but when I do hear it I find it annoying but what really aggravates me is the incorrect use of 'myself' which is becoming more and more prevalent.
The dropping of the 'g' in 'ing' at the end of a word or not pronouncing the letter 't' also rile me especially in newsreaders who I expect to speak properly.

This is so prevalent now that I think it has become an alternative form.

Or "alternate" if the American is to be used!!

As for myself (!) I worked with a librarian who used expressions like "Myself went to a different library". It drove the rest of us to screaming point!!

I agree, and conversely people hypercorrect by saying They were talking to Jane and I. You wouldn't say They were talking to I. Not unless you were a Rastafarian

Argh! at last I keep on and on about putting the other person first,,, how I was taught!

Hubby and me, me and my friend/mum/sister....sound more normal imo

It drives me mad too, and has done so, ever since it first cropped up in nineteen-seventy-something.

Me and my shadow, strolling down the Avenue, has been on my mind since reading.

I think if we understand the meaning- who cares about correctness?

I don't understand what connotations you refer to?

Or does the phrase "my husband and I" have other connotations?

As the old saying goes:
My husband and I are deeply moved

(Sorry to lower the tone.)

Yes. I hate this constant use of “myself”.

Misuse of "myself" drives me to insanity. I wrote a stroppy to M & S yesterday following an email which started: "here's reasons". I queried why they were massacring the English language!

These multinationals really must maintain standards.

Quite a few of us do! And it really riles me when people say or imply that these things don’t matter any more.

Why didn't she just call him Phillip? That was his name after all- we know he's her husband!

The late Queen?
The grammatically correct way sounds perfectly ridiculous to me.

This is pedants’ corner kq.

Another that grates on me is ‘her and me’. It sounds like a 4 year old at Nursery!

Myself now seems the norm on tv - ‘welcome to the programme, with myself Jane’

While I’m in a roll - stood/sat. We were stood waiting for ages., then we were sat near the kitchen door.

A member of my family uses this form of speech. She's a well educated person in her early sixties. If her father was alive I think he would say something to her about it. I just keep quiet, but it grates on me.
