Actually "Me and Orson Wells" isnt correct English but as has already been stated that is the title of the book.

reply

Whether or not its correct english depends on what comes before it:

(Orson Welles and I) are going to a movie.
Would you like to come to a movie with (me and Orson Welles)?

reply

does it really matter

reply

yes. It does.

They obviously get out more than you if they have a better education.

There's nothing to indicate they have a better education because they're wrong.

Yep. Depends on the usage. As an incomplete, I think either is correct.

I was wrong. I suck. It is correct grammar.

stuff it. I barley passed.

reply

actually the only grammatically correct ones are "Orson Wells and Me" and "Me and Orson Wells" the latter doesn't make as much sense because it's become common practice to state everyone elses names before your own. That's just what you'd call grammatically polite. The best choice would be "Orson Wells and Me" because (think about it) if you take out Orson Wells, it would just read "Me" if you took "Orson Wells" out of "Orson Wells and I" you would just have "I" which is silly.

someone here obviously didn't listen to their english teachers.

reply

Over the last forty years or so, most children in the U.S. have been taught descriptivism by their overcompensated, undertalented teachers (oops, I mean educators). Prescriptivism is scoffed at, and the result is semi-literacy. There is nothing wrong with 'Orson Welles and me.' It depends on the context within the sentence.
