Shownotes

Since the decision to fork Pidgin has been surrounded with some questions and perhaps a bit of controversy, we here at the Fresh Ubuntu Podcast decided it might be worthwhile to interview one of the developers of the new fork and get a few of our questions answered. So, we brought in Justin to 'splain a few things to us and get to the bottom of things. As usual, we also have a plethora of action-packed, thrilling, adventuresome news and a bevy of user feedback, not to mention Cafeninja's MPM on the more command. All that and more fun with Peter and I and Galactic Overlord Candidate #1, oh and also the Peace Penguin. They're coming out of the woodworks folks so stay tuned:)

grammar: A mistake that

grammar: A mistake that seems to be spreading is using "I" were it should be "me". In your statement "with Peter and I", you would not say "with Peter and with I", nor would you say "with we". You would say "with us" or "with Peter and with me". All these things show that you should say "with Peter and me".

I normally avoid correcting someone for their grammar. But this mistake seems to be catching on, and it is just as bad as saying "Me and Peter are going to the store".

If grammar corrections are not welcome, just ignore.
