It's so easy to get it right, too! If you are going to say "x and I/me", just mentally miss out the "x and" and see which of I or me sounds correct.

Tyke51, I heard an even worse 'literally' the other day - a young girl 'literally died'. I was relieved that she was a Dr Who-type person, able to reincarnate herself to tell us!

Hi Malone, I think a football player once said `I`m literally over the moon`... `Colemanballs` in Private Eye used to be full of these gems
