I like a whiskey drink…..People are idiots. They use the word "myself" as a way of sounding formal, but it's completely wrong. "Hectic and myself went out for a drink". I agree that however you would say it - if it were just you - is correct. So it's "Hectic and I". Maybe Hectic can let us know if he wants to get a drink.
In April 2024, President Biden signed a bill that would ban TikTok in the United States unless Chinese tech company ByteDance sells TikTok within a year. (The ban was included in a bill providing foreign aid for Israel, Taiwan and Ukraine.)
NPR tech editor Bobby Allyn today said, "ByteDance is waiting to hear whether or not the ban is legal or not." Here is what he should have said: "ByteDance is waiting to hear whether the ban is legal."

Channel98 is our resident Edwin Newman.And that's should have, not should *of* and thanks for getting it right.
That's when my father beat into me as a child. I don't mean literally of course, but I was corrected a million times for saying of instead of have.And that's should have, not should *of* and thanks for getting it right.
Haha, that's another one. So you all know I love SiriusXMU, and the queen of indie DJs is Jenny Eliscu. She is the heartbeat of the channel, in terms of programming, and influence, and knowledge. But as recently as a year or so ago, she'd be interviewing some indie artist, and she'd keep saying "werd" as a follow-up to everything the artist would say. And I'm like, "That's so Y2K".Werd.
