Okay, I wasn't going to comment on the incorrect usage of "I" in the thread title, although it's one of my grammatical pet peeves but now that I see he has an English degree, I won't let it go.

It should be "Help my Dad and me win a Cross Canada trip!"

You wouldn't say "Help I win..." and the addition of your Dad to the sentence doesn't change that.


Oh yeah, and good luck.

I am actually aware of that. The problem is, commonly, people understand that "and I" is grammatically correct. So if you say "and me", it does not sound right to most people, even though it may be.

But my dad and I think I have done good on this.

PS- You corrected me. Please vote for me, too!

Bump! Keep those votes comin'!

Do you think it's OK if I give this thread a bump twice a day- once in the am and once in the pm? I just want to remind people to vote! Is that too much, though?

Voted. Even though this seems like one of the most pathetically unnecessary 'jihads' ever.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I am surprised- it seems like other contestants are not voting. Do they not want to win?

I appreciate your support! Here's today's bump!

That was a painful registration but it is done and I have voted. Commented aswell in case that does anything. The duplicate comment is just because I tried voting a second time.

Voted, partly because of all the votes I'm getting from CPers on my own jihad. Everyone who votes here should make sure they also vote at mine: http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthread.php?t=91981

My photo is No. 8. Go the centre of the page, not the section at the bottow.
