Between you and me RTÉ simply does not get it

In the RTÉ 1 main evening Monday news a journalist reporting on the current Ukraine peace talks said: “between he and Mr Putin”.

The daily errors in the English language on RTÉ is unimpressive, indeed, annoying. Every day there are regular grammar faux pas and then there are the unusual pronunciations.

It makes it difficult to teach English grammar or any language when the national broadcaster does not know what case to use after the preposition ‘between’.
