If one was to state that neither him or another person committed a certain act, how would that be phrased with proper grammar?
ex. Who broke that window?
It wasn't me or Steve.
vs.
It wasn't Steve or I.

How would you phrase it if Steve were not involved? Why would Steve's presence affect what first-person pronoun you use? – Hot Licks Mar 24 '15 at 02:42

How about:
Neither of us.
Or:
It wasn't Steve nor I.
This is poor grammar:
It wasn't me or Steve.
