Subject/Object Question
An acquantaince of mine posted the following sentence publicly:
"Stupid people should not be allowed to walk on the same sidewalk as I."
I was thrown off by the use of the subject pronoun "I" in this scenario because it just sounds awkward. Given the condescending tone of the sentence, I wanted to verify if this person was indeed correct.
