Grammar
Me and "proper noun" vs. "proper noun" and me
When one speaks of oneself and another person, is there a restriction or a stigma on using the form "me and Marilyn" versus "Marilyn and me?" I 'd understood that it was, if not verboten, it was at least impolite, "common" usage ("common" being considered detrimental), or at best, colloquial to say "me and Marilyn." Opinions?
Thanks!
Thanks!

In English it's best to say Marilyn and I. I don't know for certain that me and marily or marily and me is grammatically incorrect, but what I do know for certain is that phrasing it that way is frowned down upon.
