As a former English major one of my biggest pet peeves is linguistic prescriptivism and dumb explanations for fake grammar rules. “Don’t say ‘Me and Julio go…’ bc you would never say ‘Me go…’ you would say ‘I go.” Sorry to break it you, but me and Julio are watching hentai, and I would never say ‘I are watching hentai’ either
