Hi Guys,

Actually, you're probably going to think I'm crazy, but the correct answer is "It is I who is right.

The traditional grammar rule states when a http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/myself-grammar.aspx follows a http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/good-versus-well.aspx, such as is, it should be in the subject case. That means it is correct to say, “It's I who is correct."

That is the traditional rule, but fortunately most grammarians forgive you for http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/im-so-stylish.aspx. In her aptly titled book Woe Is I, Patricia O'Connor notes that almost everyone says, “It is me,” and that the “It is I” construction is almost extinct.

So, go ahead and say "It's me who's right."

CJ offers the best explanation yet:

If someone knocks at your door, and you say "Who's there?" and what you hear in response is "It is I," don't let them in. It's no one you want to know.
