As for me, I will defer to the linguistic experts

Fascinating little piece on objective vs. subjective pronouns from the New York Times.

I"ll be reading this closely, myself. And my writer editor friends and I can discuss it later. For my friends and I, it's an issue with which to be dealt.

Though maybe the piece is right - perhaps it's time for the language-istas to back off a bit. Just between you and me, too much rigidity makes language a dull thing, indeed.
