me

me

1. For idiomatic uses of me, see I. For the types as good as I/me and better than I/me see cases 2b.

2. Informally, me commonly replaces I at the head of clauses when linked to a noun by and:

• Me and the teacher are going to race tonight from the school to the store —J. Crace, 1986.

It would be awkward to say I and the teacher, and the alternative the teacher and I, though less awkward, has a formal sound that makes it less likely to occur in casual conversation. This use of me seems generally more acceptable than corresponding uses of her, him, us, and them.
