If you wouldn't say "That seems good for I," you wouldn't say "That seems good for ____ and I." That's what people are fucking up constantly, and it's fairly recent. Same with other shit like "should of" etc. (though that is only in text format). I've poked fun at people for doing that here and sometimes they don't even understand what I'm poking fun at and are like "I don't get it." People saying "me and ___" doesn't really bother me because that's like they never learned how to speak.
