| Sep 23, 2023 at 8:52 | comment | added | Sam | @MichaelHarvey Huh?, "I" is subject in the sentence, so you said it's an error. The sentence is about "I" and "The hard working employee" so "I" is in the nominative case. | |

| Sep 23, 2023 at 8:02 | comment | added | Michael Harvey | You are barking up the right tree. It should be 'me' but this is a very common error among native speakers. In my experience it is very widespread -- as you have noticed -- in internet memes and forums. I have seen on Mumsnet (a popular forum in the UK) gems like 'My husband and I's house'. | |
