But if "and" is a conjunction in this sentence pattern, the nouns or pronouns it joins together form the subject, and so they ought to be in the nominative, i.e. "John and I". I understood that to be Hendrik's point, even if he didn't express it very clearly (perhaps adding some irony to the thread). -- Ian _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
