    Yes exactly. I didn’t mention it above but it seems like the people who use “and I” incorrectly are the same ones trying to sound smarter by being more “proper” or formal. I agree people should just focus on the content of the message. I would not correct anyone in real life, but secretly inwardly it drives me crazy.

      Yeah, that’s exactly what makes it sound poorly educated to me.
