A scripted television ad for Purina Dog Chow shows a little girl kicking a soccer ball, as her dog runs around. The child's voice says, "When I started playing soccer, I wasn't so good. So, me and Sadie started practicing."
Why must the writers have the girl model poor grammar? It would be so easy to have her say, "So, Sadie and I started practicing." Oh, of course! The ad writers are probably young and grammar-impaired.
