[Ads-l] RES: Pseudo-prescriptivism in TV dialogue

[David Daniel]

This was quite common on The Big Bang Theory. Sheldon loved to correct other
folks' grammar, but then would turn around and say "between you and I,"
"give it to Leonard and I," etc., and use "bring" for "take." I wrote to
them several times about it over the years but, unsurprisingly, they never
wrote back and never corrected it.

from the script of Mr. Pickles S3 E10 (2013)

- Shut up! This is between me and Grandpa.

It's Grandpa and I.

If you're gonna speak English, at least use proper grammar.
