'me' or 'i'...yes, again!
Do we say "Sensible people like she and I don't believe in nonsense" or "sensible people like she and me don't believe in nonsense" ? I know the latter sounds wrong, but...
When broken into parts, the correct usage is "sensible people like me..." and at the same time, "...I don't believe in nonsense", right? I'm confused

thanks! ^_^
so um, it should be "sensible people like me and her don't believe in nonsense" ? ( 'sensible people' is the subject, hencei can't use subject pronouns when referring to me and her right? Therefore 'she and i' is incorrect? And nonsense is the object, is it?) (pardon me if I got it wrong AGAIN!

You've got it. If the right grammar sounds funny to you (as it sometimes does), you can use 'sensible people like us...'.
