"Akane and *ME*"!  Graaaarrarrrrgh!

       Ranko writes a bit more carefully than Ranma would...

Maybe, but "Akane and I" is still wrong. "I" is used when it is the
subject, while "me" is used everwhere else. It should be "Akane and me", as
Sebastian said.

Those that think "Akane and I" is correct are suffering from a prescriptive
grammar error called "Overcompensation". "Akane and I" is fine for "Akane
and I went to the market." (and "*** and me" as a subject is a common
error) but not for "Kasumi met Akane and I."

How about 'Akane and myself'?
