THANK YOU for your current, high profile efforts in cracking down on traffic violations, especially on US72.

Not from I! I am genuinely thankful for their current operation.


Are you allergic to the second person, objective case? "Not from I," indeed!

"Not from ME" is the correct form, but legions of folks who were taught not to say such things as "Him and me will do it" have extrapolated that guidance to the status of a prohibition against the use of "we" in many situations where it is the CORRECT form.

As for myself, a former LEO and one that LOVED working traffic details, it pleases me greatly to see the guys in blue performing their respective duties with such vigor.


i'm not a LEO or a loved one of a LEO.
i am good friends with several.
i do live in Tuscumbia.
i'm just glad to see people slow down before someone got killed!

Actually, both of us were wrong.
"Me" is thefirst person, objective case
