William Germano defends the first-person object pronoun against grammar pedants: "There’s something about me that makes people uncomfortable, and something about I that reassures. Linguists, who have the technical knowledge I lack, can describe the problem more precisely. Yet the resistible rise of the first-person singular pronoun sounds like a social one: Many speakers, insecure about grammatical Rules, default to what sounds formal, and me ain’t sounding formal enough."
