Jillian, will you accept this roast

Jillian, we love you as the Bachelorette. You're a girl's girl. You're beautiful, but not in a faux Hollywood sort of way. You seem down to earth, yet smart. At least until we encountered this:

On a date with Kiptyn, Jillian tells viewers, "today it's just about me and him."

Maybe she's just a woman who puts herself first, grammar rules be damned.

She and Kyptyn might be well matched.

"Everything feels good with Jillian and I right now. Everything feels good."

Feels good maybe. Sounds good? We think not.

We get a whole bunch more over the next two hours.

At dinner Jillian tells the men: "while you guys go find tequila, me and Jake are going to go for a little trip."

Contestant Jesse to Jillian: "You're so driven, successful already, sense of humor. Those three things is the complete package.
Jesse to the camera: "Me and Jillian, we had a great conversation."

Grammar Goddess isn't sure she can take much more.

Contestant Mike to Jillian: "I just gotta feel like it's me and you right now."

Did the producers tell everyone to eschew grammar rules? Is is actually not "reality," but written as a script by an illiterate writer who doesn't know the other person's name comes before "me?" Are they all morons?

Jillian offers us more: "I fell like after talking to Mike tonight, him and I have a lot more in common."

Him and I?

Forget bachelors and roses and the search for true love. Let's just find people who can identify the right pronoun and put it in the proper place in a sentence!

First Lady of Grammar

First Lady Michelle Obama graduated from top schools, Princeton University and Harvard Law School. We assume one or both offers English classes or grades students in part on writing well. Sometimes that's a sign one speaks well, too.

Michelle Obama's college transcripts weren't available to check for courses taken or grades received, but a television interview with NBC's Brian Williams brought two moments worthy of an Ivy League gasp.

Asked who in her life made her believe she could achieve, Obama said her older brother, Craig Robinson. She told Williams, "he's two years older than me."

Ouch.

Before we can recover from that, Obama, while describing her brother's accomplishments, explained that those made her believe she also could achieve because (wait for it...) "I'm smarter than him."

Is that open to a vote?
