Yes, too many people say/write "Me and..." when referring to the subjects of the sentence. However, when it is the object of the sentence, you would be able to say "__ and me." Some people still say "I" because it sounds better or more formal.This one gets me:
"Me and Jack went to the store"
I constantly have to correct my kids and husband. "Jack and I went to the store." To which they reply, "you didn't go" or "doesn't matter, we both went" or "what difference does it make?"
Sometimes "Jack and me" is correct, but not as the subject of the sentence, only as the object. As in, "The teacher gave homework to everyone but Jack and me." If you would use "I" in the sentence without Jack, use "I" with Jack. If you would use "me" without Jack, use "me" with Jack. Wasn't that easy? Now you know Jack!This one gets me:

Noodles and gravy is delicious, too... some nice egg noodles....I unintentionally found out that gravy on french fries is really good too.
Exactly, but so many people use it wrong both ways. Love your explanation.Sometimes "Jack and me" is correct, but not as the subject of the sentence, only as the object. As in, "The teacher gave homework to everyone but Jack and me." If you would use "I" in the sentence without Jack, use "I" with Jack. If you would use "me" without Jack, use "me" with Jack.

Same goes for d’UcclesWhen the -s- is omitted from Marans simply because there is only 1 chicken. Marans is always marans, regardless of 1 or 40.
It's because it's a place and not a breed. The breed, if you are French and from Marans is Black Marans.Same goes for d’Uccles
Ah, the old “me/I” issue. I have heard something like this out of people: “Jack and I’s hair was too long so we got haircuts.” How about “Jack’s and my hair”, or even more simply, “our hair”.Yes, too many people say/write "Me and..." when referring to the subjects of the sentence. However, when it is the object of the sentence, you would be able to say "__ and me." Some people still say "I" because it sounds better or more formal.
Examples:
"Jack and I went to the store with George."
"George went to the store, and brought Jack and me along."
