There is an endless battle going on between the two forms, and I observe several other instances. It doesn't matter whether I bypass these altogether. Fools carry on with the debate, and this might cost someone his job when he receives poor marks for these. The best would say that it would be the best if you don't take those exams that ask such silly questions. But still the battle rages on ...
People who engage in these battles miss out on the real motive to learn a language. It's about communication. So long as English is easier than other languages without pitfalls people will learn English. That was why English became accepted in the first place, not German (which has more queer rules, like Hindi and Sanskrit).
People who engage in pointless pursuit do a great disservice to the language.
In India there is a Board called Karnataka Board that engages in such pointless pursuits.
People like these guys follow the faux rule that silence is approval. It's like, "God I want to kill him. Do you approve?" When met with silence goes ahead and kills.
I need an authoritative book which talks along these lines. I am really sick of this Karnataka Board that wishes to screw my daughter's head!
- I am older than he is or him
- It's me or it's I
- It's them or it's they
- It is I who am here or It is me who is here
