Many people in formal settings will use the wrong pronoun case for "I" and "me".
My wife purchased the tickets for my son and I.

No! My wife purchased the tickets for my son and me.
Watch the news for 10 minutes and you'll hear someone mess that up.

Watching sports, I hear many athletes use "myself" incorrectly.
I have to do what's best for the team and myself.

No! I have to do what's best for the team and me.

In writing, I hate when people use apostrophes on words that don't require them:
Old photo's for sale.

I just don't understand what people are thinking when they do this!
