“Grammar Girl : ‘It Is I’ Versus ‘It Is Me’”
I hate it when language is in flux like this because it’s easy to get confused. But a lot of people have asked me these questions, and in the end, I believe it’s best to know the traditional rules and then if you decide to break them you can do so knowingly and with conviction.
Prompted by a Tom Ford Q&A I listened to yesterday (I mean, to which I listened) where he jokingly corrected an audience member: “Is it him who […]? Yes, it is he.”
I knew there was some rule to that effect, but I wondered what the rule was exactly, and I’m surprised by how broad it is. Or… was.
