6/20    "Me and many others" is a single plural term.  This is not
        what you were taught but did not learn in 3rd grade about
        "me and jonny were spanked for being bad" vs "I and jonny".
        In the future I'll confine myself to the simpler forms of
        English for you so as not to confuse the masses.
        \_ Could you explain this a bit more?  I was taught using
           the "whole-language" approach and my exposure to grammar was
           limited to a 6th grade English teacher who was too senile
           to know that grammar was out of style.  How does
           "Me and many others have" differ from "Johnny and I were"?
           \_ "me" is not a subject pronoun
