"Holly Willoughby quits This Morning after 14 years ‘for me and my family’"
She means "for my family & I".
Are you sure that is correct?
Not "for my family and me"?
Your knowledge is greater than mine but if you are correct, then something I was taught years ago, is wrong.
If you are unsure whether to use "I" or " me", just remove the other people in the sentence and it will be obvious.
So
(My family and) I decided to quit.
The decision to quit was best for (my family and) me.
I hope that makes sense.
Good evening.
Firstly, I very much doubt my knowledge is greater than yours.
It's an interesting point though.
For starters, by implication, we both seem to agree that "me & my family" is incorrect.
Beyond that, you may have a point.
In my support, I asked the question on google & this was the reply;
“My family and I” is correct. “My family and I” is used as the subject of a sentence (i.e., the entity doing the action). The correct way to use “me and my family” as the object of a sentence (i.e., as the entity receiving the action) is to reverse the “me” and “my family” so that “me” is put last.
Delving deeper, I also found this, which seems to confirm your view, though is not quite the same thing...
John and me and John and I are both grammatically correct, however, they should not be used interchangeably. To decide which phrase is correct, remove “John and” from the sentence to see if the sentence still makes sense. For example: John and I went to the theme park.
So I'm not sure who is correct, (could easily be both or neither) but I do enjoy exploring these sort of things.
