>>Ah, but those people make up for it by adding the "ly" where they shouldn't. It bothers me to hear someone say "I feel badly" (unless they have damaged nerves in their fingers).<<

Alastair -

Ouch. So true.

Then there's the use of "I" when the pronoun is an object, as in "He gave the ball to him and I." Nobody would ever say "He gave the ball to I."

I wonder whether or not these things are still being taught in the schools.
