   If the PS4’s share button could do what skate does, then I’d get excited about it. =P

   “Raygun Brown and I”
   should be:
   “Raygun Brown and me”

   COME ON MARK! 😛

      “and me”?? Have the grammar rules changed or something? I was always taught “and I”.

         Remove the other subject:

         Listen to Raygun Brown and I talk about Skate 2 – Listen to I talk about Skate 2.

         Listen to Raygun Brown and me talk about Skate 2 – Listen to me talk about Skate 2.

            yes.. I see what you mean there..

            At the end of the day though, if it doesn’t make you double-take when you read it (ie. it just flows naturally).. there is no problem. It’s only really when it feels disjointed that these rules really need to be followed to the letter. Language is about communicating ideas, not about being grammatically correct.

            If you were to remove “Listen to” from the beginning, “I” works just fine.

         I was told that it should always work if you remove the other person, so in this case:
         “Listen To I Talk About Skate 2!”
         “Listen To Me Talk About Skate 2!”

         The second is grammatically correct and therefore applies to when multiple people are referred to.

            You only know that because you tried to correct Neil Gaiman about it on Twitter and got schooled.

      Thank you! This mistake is made EVERYWHERE – print, TV, film – and it grinds my gears.
