I or me

I know my grammar is not perfect. Heck, maybe it's even poor, but we must stop people from using I as the object of a sentence! When I first heard I used that way I didn't think much of it. Now, years later, hearing it has become a major pet peeve for me. What really frightens me is that people who consider themselves educated are using I when they should be using me. It's almost as if people think that using I sounds more educated or upper class. To me, it sounds horrible and it sets my teeth on edge each time I hear I misused.

So let's hear it for sending the report to John and I, or for talking to Karen and I about whatever!
