An open top tour bus on Dublin’s O’Connell Street yesterday evening.
A line in the ad reads: "This is not us'
It’s striking how some grammar changes through use are accepted, others not; it’s still a howler to say 'I done it' or I' have went’. But in this example no problem confusing nominative with accusative case.
A BBC reporter last week said; ‘From Adam and I’. And that too is now acceptable. Or is it? Who decides?
Who cares?
