Thank you so much for posting this! I learned this in Grade 3 and have been trying to tell people it ever since and no one believes me. Specifically in regards to using "me" instead of "I" appropriately. I even explained that it has to make sense if you take the other person out if the sentence but still no one believed me. That being said, I love you and you are my favorite person in the world right now.
I learned this rule in elementary. Seems most people didn't. Maybe it was because I was homeschooled and actually had to do all my work. Or maybe I just loved grammar. I did. Thanks for the laughs!
Most of my grammatical pet peeves involve people saying one thing when they mean another, but this is also one of them. I also have to smile when people say something like, "I'm smarter than him anyways."
Is it really true though? I learned your language in school, to me it seemed possible to be a weird rule.
I don't even know if that grimace douche in the video is anything close to a linguist, or if he debunks obvious quirks which are still according to grammar.
Us and we make suitable alternatives if you don't feel like breaking a sentence apart in your head while the person you are talking to stands and waits for a response. :P
A good book for this purpose is Thomas Eliott Berry's The Most Common Mistakes in English Usage. One may want to study Eats Shoots and Leaves--or was it "Eats, Shoots and leaves" !--by Lynn Truss, and The Elements of Style by Strunk and White. Those who wish to study the degradation of the English language, can read The King's English by the Fowler brothers, or Modern English Usage by Fowler.

No, "correct" is the proper word because he is using the adjective form to describe the situation. Situations are nouns.

@schtolteheim Your point isn't very clear, but what he was saying in the video is correct regardless if the rules appear to be weird or not.
