Apparently, Me Can Write for PopEater Too


The following sentence appeared in the middle of a story that can be read in its entirety here: http://www.popeater.com/2010/07/22/michael-lohan-kate-major-charged/?icid=mainmaindl2link5http%3A%2F%2Fwww.popeater.com%2F2010%2F07%2F22%2Fmichael-lohan-kate-major-charged%2F)

"He told TMZ that there was a dispute between he and his fiancee, but Major 'invented' the domestic violence story because she needs money."

My, my. "[B]etween he"? Obviously, these guys have never heard the great April Wine song "Just Between You and Me," which correctly uses the objective form of a pronoun ("me") after the preposition "between." (When Eric Carmen sings about "the magic between you and I" on the Footloose soundtrack, he's simply showing why he's also the guy who sings "All by Myself.")

Hey, PopEater, me has been freelancing for over twenty years. If you need an experienced writer, let I know.
