What's wrong here? "That'd change if she ever found out about you and I."
Nothing | 5 (6%) |
A preposition | 5 (6%) |
A conjunction | 3 (3%) |
A pronoun | 68 (82%) |
A verb | 1 (1%) |
Thanks to Bryan Adams for this (I've been wanting to complain about this since the song came out in the 80s).
Congrats to 82% of you.

Is this an example of a hypercorrection? One where something that is already correct is 'corrected' again using a rule that isn't understood completely.
Thanks for your efforts at educating all of us!
Well, it is definitely incorrect. When you have a pronoun after a preposition ("about" here), you need the objective case ("me").
True, I am hypercorrective! But with good reason here!
Me! Me! Me!
I want to shout it every time someone uses the wrong pronoun.
But I don't. Why make them look stupid when their own words do such a good job.
