Mauna Lani on Big Island Sold

I posted this news on the general catagory thread by accident. It has been bought out by the Fairmont chain. Sad news for we Starwood lovers.

Sad news for "us" Starwood lovers. It doesn't matter where you post it unless we're doing a search it all ends up on the United States forum.

Ugh, I wish people would learn how to use this site before they post. Also, how about exercising some of that grammar you were taught in grade school!

I wonder happens to my reservations? I was using points?

Hey, "x," her grammar IS correct! "We," NOT "Us," is the proper grammar and it is YOU who MUST return to school!!

Well, we might need an English professor to sort this one out, but, Dan, I do believe that x is right. If you said, "We Starwood lovers are sad" then you would be correct. However, when you insert the preposition "for" into the sentence, then you need the objective case of the pronoun, which is "us".

Dan, you provided my laugh for the day. I'm glad Betty was able to adequately explain that the structure of the sentence requires the use of "us" rather than "we".

Gee, Lisa, you certainly have a limited vocabulary.

Okay, I admit that I was wrong! My apologies! I will gladly eat one large slice of humble pie!! (Unlike some people on this Board, I really don't mind admitting to my faux pas!).

I'm really sorry Lisa took my comments so negatively. I was just trying to help out ol' x. And since Dan was such a good sport, I certainly don't see the harm.
