There are a few reasons why incorrect grammar is common nowadays. Firstly, the rise of social media and texting has led to a more casual and informal style of communication, where grammar rules are often ignored. Additionally, the education system may not prioritize grammar instruction as much as in the past. Lastly, linguistic diversity and language evolution over time also play a role in influencing grammar usage.

Incorrect grammar is so prevalent these days for several reasons. A) educational standards have been seriously compromised in this country to the point where grammar is no longer being taught in some schools. Neither is script! It's disgraceful . B) The educators themselves are incapable of teaching grammar when they barely speak English themselves. To lower the required standards for ANY employment positions no matter what the reason is foolish! If testing standards need to be lowered to hire certain groups of people then - those people ( I don't care what color, religion, gender, or whatever) should not have those employment positions! C) Too much time in public schools is being wasted on trying to deal with children who do not even speak or read English as their first language! They speak very little English if any at all! No child regardless of his/her age should be permitted to take classes or enter the public school system without speaking English or completing an English as second language course! D) Today's technology has caused just about everyone to use made up text abbreviations or texting slang (LOL) as an entire new sub culture language! My pre-teen can text so face it would make your head spin . My daughter does write slow and her penmanship compared to others her age is much neater. I am very grateful that she does attend a school where grammar is taught daily, and she must write in script and wear a uniform. Of course it is costing me an arm and a leg to send her to private school! However, I can see difference between my child and so many others it truly is remarkable Grammar should be taught in every lower school everyday. How a person speaks and writes is imperative to their future and success in life ?

Actually, either could be correct. "Me" is used as an object, "I" as a subject.
