I want to throw up!!!! No, I want to run around the room screaming and tearing my hair out.
Yah, that would be real smart, in a household with people who normally go to bed at 10 and I can't spare the hair.
Doesn't matter. They who wrote this line are idiots. "Between" is a preposition. All objects of prepositions are in the OBJECTIVE case, duh?
Between us. Between you and me. Between him and me. Between my husband and me.
HONEST!!!! LEARN IT!!!!
Does it sound funny to you, that "between him and me" part? That's because some imbecile taught you garbage in elementary school. "Sound eddicated. The nominative always sounds more eddicated than the objective."
Get Warriner's "English Grammar and Composition", and get an old edition (nope, grammar hasn't changed that much in fifty years) and save the money. The new editions are up around a hundred dollars now. Get the old one.
I should put in an Amazon link so I can make a few cents if someone actually gets interested.
