Akin to making friends with a rattlesnake. Not cute, or cuddly.

He was always saying, "for Emma and I," "of Emma and I," or "with Emma and I," etc.

In English, if you don't say "for I" "of I," or "with I," then you don't say "for Emma and I," "of Emma and I" or "with Emma and I." If it's "for me," then it's also "for Emma and me." If you say "with me," then you also say, "with Emma and me."

If this guy has a PhD in marine bioogy (or whatever degree he might have), then how come he can't write third grade English?
