Here comes another pet peeve: hyperurbanization, as my linguistics professor Lee Pedersen* called it. Such is committed by otherwise literate folks who don't fully understand subject-verb agreement and the role of the nominative case, as two examples.

"She's one of those women who likes football."
or
"Neither of the passengers were seriously hurt."

and

"The gift is for you and I."

More examples? comments?
