Is it correct to use 'us' in this sentence? "You must think us strange, don't you?" of course meaning "You must think we are strange, don't you?"Or is it just another way of talking that is not really correct?:lol: Can one say that?

Not wrong - people would understand you. But it'd be better to use the more direct 'Do you think I'm stupid?' (or [for the 'stupid' meaning], more colloquially, 'Do you think I was born yesterday?' or 'What kind of [a] fool do you take me for?')Quote:
