I was pleasantly suprised to see that this lovely peice of graffiti had already made it to your site. Ironically, I have a picture of it too! Here is my sister and I pondering this age old question.

One of MY pet peeves is the misuse of the word (and its variations) irony. This is hardly ironic, more noteworthy. Also, i before e except after c – pIEce. suRprise! “Here are my sister and I” or better yet, “Here, my sister and I ponder this age old question.”
Oh, blow it our your ass, grammar nazi.
hey Lisa, I mean anonymous,
If you’re going to post on a blog specifically dedicated to grammatical mistakes, you open yourself up to criticism.
It’s piece, not peice. Didn’t it look wrong to you?
And you should have written “here are my sister and me…” You wouldn’t have said “here is I pondering…” Take out the other person to determine if it should be me or I.
Isn’t being a grammar nazi the whole point of this site?
BTW – Isn’t it, “my sister and me….”?
On second thought, it’s, “Here are my sister and I…”
I knew something was wrong with it, I just misidentified it at first.
For all of you analyzing the ” my sister and I ” phrase, the correct wording should be: Here, my sister and I ponder this age old question.
