Re: your 2nd irritating error for question 2

2) incorrect use of the nominal case for personal pronouns when the direct object or object of a preposition (e.g., "Between you and I..." )
This is big on my list too. Apart from the preposition issue, I find it even worse when people try to make a combination like that possessive...I actually hear people saying things like "it was her and I's idea."
If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

Tom can probably give you actual terms and correct rules, but here's my take on it.

I can live with being wrong, at least in the sense of technical error.

I do not really think I am "right" on this one so much as "not wrong."

Those cases are not the same, because those words are already possessive in their own right.
