Here is the sentence. Which one is correct?

  1. Dec. 21st from 9:30-10:30 can work for both I-SHEA and I.
  2. Dec. 21st from 9:30-10:30 can work for both I-SHEA and me.

I think it should be I-SHEA and me but that sounds a little odd. Maybe that's because people usually use the wrong pronoun?

    If it's just you, would you say "can work for me" or "can work for I"? – KillingTime Nov 21 '23 at 15:02
  • Look up "me"| after a preposition. Also, this question belongs on ELL, not here. Cheers. – Lambie Nov 21 '23 at 15:03
  • @Lambie: Given that a significant minority of native speakers get this wrong (via hypercorrection), I don't think it's restricted to learners of English... I'd be surprised if there wasn't already more than one duplicate, though. – psmears Nov 21 '23 at 15:40
  • @psmears A significant number yes, get it wrong. But I hear most of them getting it wrong. So, a majority rather than a minority (at least, say, on TV). – Lambie Nov 21 '23 at 15:44
  • @psmears Thank you for nailing it as hypercorrection. – Yosef Baskin Nov 21 '23 at 16:38
