Is it 'me and him' or 'him and I'? Ouch. In spite of the increasingly widespread use of sentence forms like "Me and him went to the ball game together," the usage is grammatically incorrect. Verbs are always preceded by nominative pronouns: I, you, he, she, they or we. This means that the pronoun is the subject (or "doer") of the sentence. Objective pronouns — me, her, him, them and us — are used as the object of the sentence or clause. So, the correct usage is "He and I went to the ballgame together." And, while we're at it, the correct syntax is "between you and me." Not "between you and I." It's National Grammar Day in the US. Remember your fifth-grade grammar teacher? Think of him or her kindly!
