Most "correct" title for an essay
by Colin
(Sweden)
What difference is there between "Me and my computer" and "My computer and I" as a title for an essay.
The first is incorrect and the second is grammatically correct.
The trick is to simplify the sentence (or in this case add to the sentence) and then remove the computer and try to say the same thing.
For example if you say,
Me and my computer are very hard workingIf you remove computer from the sentence how would you write it?
I am very hard working. You wouldn't write "me am very hard working". So in this case the correct title would be,
My computer and I.
This can be confusing at times, because many people will use the incorrect version in common or daily speech, but it isn't correct.
I hope that helps Colin.
