My father continues to state that captions are often misleading and are "flawed pieces of information," due to the common use of sentence fragments in them.

Let's eat the popcorn.

Let us eat the popcorn.

Us= Object, therefore the sentence is grammatically incorrect.

However, it is in common usage.

Kris and I are at the Halloween Ball.

(a linking verb is needed, which is "are.")

"This is Kris and me at the Halloween Ball," makes the sentence subjective on both sides. Therefore, it is incorrect. The linking verb "is" makes the difference.

Dang it Marbella! Now I want popcorn

Cloud just got here and I was being a snotty post hog!

Glad to see you, Heidi!!

What's been happening in your life?

Oh and Jess.. The funniest part was this: My dad is 72. He said, "Now, who is this information for?"

I said, "Jamesyboy from England."

He said, "Is he one of the special needs students you tutor?"

I said, "Uh, no. He's on a forum and he likes to debate grammar."

Daddy: "So, you're doing this instead of finishing your book, eh?"
