Words that denote position to the object following the subject and verb. As if nobody ever learned how to diagram a sentence.

I just like the precision of correct language. Pet peeve: saying "you and I" when the correct use is "you and me" (as in, "they'll give you and I our tickets tomorrow.") Ugh.
