“She’s been hurting you and I,” I heard recently.

It’s not the nature of the statement. Nor the hurt. But it’s the last three words that bother me.

Lately, I have been hearing people using I incorrectly. Where it’s supposed to be me like she’s been hurting me.

I am not quite sure whether I want to reach into the television and slap people. Or whether at a party, I want to reach across the table and get a swift kick. Or walk up to the podium in front of 1000 people and speak into the microphone that he meant you and me.

I hope it doesn’t become natural slang.
