Morning after prom all the prom pictures go up. I was looking through one of my friend's albums and saw a really goofy picture of her and another girl. In the comments section, she wrote, "you and me were SOOOOOO hot!" And then the other girl replied, "Oh yeah!!!!!!!!! ;)"
Okay, let's go through this piece by piece and explain how it is completely and utterly INCORRECT.
First of all, the 'y' in "you" is not capitalized.
Secondly, because the phrase "you and me" is subjective, it should be "you and I".
Third, there should be a comma after "you and me", which, as previously established, should be changed to "you and I".
Fourth, "were" should be "we're"--without the apostrophe the sentence meaning changes completely. Instead of "we ARE hot" in the present tense, she is praising that they "WERE hot", past tense...something I'm not sure they want to be celebrating.
Fifth, the caps lock and extended use of 'o' in "SOOOOOO" is not necessary.
Oh the joys of being an English major and feeling the need to correct a trivial comment on Facebook. :)
I love you so much for this!
