Jack, it may sound stuffy because so many make the error and those that stick to the correct usage become "elitists" like my wife ( she is the one that polices my own vernacular). By the way, she was raised with a slavic language as her mother tongue, so we often go into comparative etymological discussions covering germanic (like English), latin (like french), slavic and semitic languages. When it comes to personal pronouns, I lose (but I am not getting loose (g)).

Happy new year.

Zeev
