Is "Jessie" our Jess? |
I always debate the me or I issue!! From what I remember from my grammar school education, the way of working out which to use is to remove the other person from the sentence and then to see if the sentence still makes sense.
So, if we take:
'Kris and I went to the shops'
taking 'Kris' out the sentence still makes sense:
'I went to the shops'.
However:
'Kris and I at the Halloween Ball'
would end up as:
'I at the Halloween Ball'
which isn't right. So, I presume, it should be:
'Me and Kris at the Halloween Ball'
or:
'Kris and me at the Halloween Ball'.
Been discussing this a lot lately!! Not entirely sure what the correct answer is....
And yes Jessie is the lovely Jess. And she certainly is beautiful!! |

James, the problem with this is that you are using the end of a sentence as the beginning of a sentence. You are substituting the object for the subject.
You wouldn't say, "Me go to the ball," but you would say, "Andy saw Kris and me at the Halloween Ball."
I believe if you are going to use a sentence fragment as a caption, using a subject looks better than using an object.
This is just my humble opinion.

Terribly sorry...I'll try to refrain from mentioning the two together again
Although My sister has snapped pictures of me in the tub before...only because I'll surprise her and take a pic when she's just in her underthings 
Girls are horrible lol |
Well if you ever have any spare photos lying around, you're more than welcome to have my email address |
Jamesy!!! I don't think you really meant that!!!

I agree that it looks better, but whether it is grammtically correct I'm a little more sceptical over, as I'm not sure there is a subject in the statement / caption! IMHO, that caption is effectively saying either:
'Look at Kris and me at the ball'
or:
'This is a picture of me and Kris at the ball'
neither of which have an obvious subject (although clearly they both have one implied!!)
I love grammar debates!!!
