I start alot of my sentences with the work [expletive] n'.

[expletive] n' computer won't boot up.
[expletive] n' [expletive] needs to learn to drive.
[expletive] n' sandwich was great. (for affirmatives, a second [expletive] 'n can be effective: [expletive] n' sandwich was [expletive] n' great.)

etc...

Good rant. Easy rule: if you added one word/removed 1-2 words, which would you use?

"He is taller than me"?

Nope, you wouldn't say "He is taller than me am" so you can't pull that one off. It's "He is taller than I (am)."

"Do you want to go with Joanna and I?" Nope, if Joanna were out of the picture you'd say "Do you want to go with me?"

It's really so easy. So stinking easy. To just talk good.
