I think "Mary and me," even though it sounds odd to the ear, is correct, but my choice is between:  "I've forgotten everything about the deal between Mary and me" and "I've forgotten everything about the deal between Mary and I."  I'm wondering if the words "deal between" have any grammatical significance on whether I should be using "I" or "me" here.  Any thoughts?
When the phrase is used as an object, why so many native speakers are saying "you and I" instead of "you and me"? I'm not a native speaker but I thought "you and me" is correct. Not sure if this falls into the same category, but "Just between you and me" sounds more natural than "Just between you and I".
After the  of registering an account to book train tickets online using my British VISA card, I finally got into a position of being able to book a ticket, but what it appears to be telling me is that I'm only being added to a wait list, which I assume means my tickets aren't confirmed.  Can someone explain how the wait list works, and what my chances are of getting on the train successfully?    It currently says the wait list is 7 The train is the Mandor Express, from Delhi to Jodhpur on the 18th of Nov   Update: So I got the train! Although it didn't get confirmed until a few hours before it was due to leave.

Low current battery monitoring Android and getting a view with id cast as a string Find the minimum value of $f(x,y,z)=\frac{x^2}{(x+y)(x+z)}+\frac{y^2}{(y+z)(y+x)}+\frac{z^2}{(z+x)(z+y)}$. Find the minimum value of $f(x,y,z)=\frac{x^2}{(x+y)(x+z)}+\frac{y^2}{(y+z)(y+x)}+\frac{z^2}{(z+x)(z+y)}$ for all notnegative value of $x,y,z$.  I think that minimum value is $\frac{3}{4}$ when $x=y=z$ but I have no prove. When is the order of convergence of Newton-Raphson greater than 2? If some function $f$ has a simple root at $x_*$ then I know that the order of convergence of the Newton-Raphson iteration is at least 2. But when is this order strictly greater than 2? Lightning Community Does Not Support pubsub for Lightning Web Components?

Avoiding NullPointerException in Java Finding parenthesis via regular expression How do you get the footer to stay at the bottom of a Web page? I have a simple 2-column layout with a footer that clears both the right and left div in my markup.  My problem is that I can't get the footer to stay at the bottom of the page in all browsers.  It works if the content pushes the footer down, but that's not always the case. Much as I loathe Microsquish's Word, it does allow you to insert into a header or footer the automated text "Page X of Y."   When using InDesign, it's easy to set up the "Page X" part on a master page. But is there any placeholder character for the Y? That is, it will count the number of pages in the document, either in an absolute or a relative-to-the-section fashion? Every now and again I narrowly miss sending out something with a footer which reads "Page 4 of 3," and I would love to know if there's some way around that.

Grant Select on a view not base table when base table is in a different database I have a view which is selecting rows from a table in a different database.  I'd like to grant select access to the view, but not direct access to the base table.  The view has a where clause restricting the number of rows.  Can I grant select to the view and not the base table, or do I need to switch to a stored procedure? I would rather not do it the latter way. How do I print a double value with full precision using cout? When running umount /path I get:  umount: /path: device is busy.   The filesystem is huge, so lsof +D /path is not a realistic option.  lsof /path, lsof +f -- /path, and fuser /path all return nothing. fuser -v /path gives:                    USER        PID ACCESS COMMAND /path:            root     kernel mount /path   which is normal for all unused mounted file systems.  umount -l and umount -f is not good enough for my situation.

Possible Duplicate:          I'm working on a website that displays distance to various locations to the nearest 1/10 mile. One of the developers (a non-native speaker) asked me an interesting question: If the distance is 1.0 mile(s), is that singular or plural? Clearly, anything other that 1.0 is plural, but is it:     1.0 miles away   or     1.0 mile away   The first option sounds more correct to my ear, but the voice of my elementary school language arts tells me that the latter option is correct.  Edit: Added the word 'away' to the example. It doesn't change the question, but might provide clarity for the answer. Also, regarding numbers between 0 and 1, after more thought, I'm not sure that the answer is as clear as I originally thought. See . How to superimpose LaTeX on a picture? I know how to add a picture to my LaTeX file, e.g. \includegraphics[width=7cm]{curve.pdf}. What I'd now like to do is place some latex symbols onto the picture. Like a \gamma to name a curve. I do not want to do that in the graphics editing program e.g. because I might want to rename that curve later and don't want to repeat the editing process.  I know I can do a \put in a picture environment. But this environment forces me to specify its size at the beginning. That would be cumbersome since I'd have to go open the graphics file and do some calculations. Is there a way to get the dimensions (or aspect ratio) of a graphics file within LaTeX, so I might use it there? But even if I could do these calculations automatically, I still wouldn't like the redundancy of specifying the width for \includegraphics again, but I could live with that.  Also, is it possible to specify the size in cm to the picture environment? I just tried and got some errors.  So basically what I am looking for is a solution as simple as possible which:  a) lets me specify a width or a height and a file, and displays the image scaled while keeping its aspect ratio and then   b) lets me put LaTeX stuff inside the image in relative coordinates (percentages or 0...1), so I won't have to redo anything should I decide that the image needs to be a bit larger or smaller.  (b is kind of like setting \unitlength to the whole width=height for the 'picture' environment. But of course most images are not square and I also don't appreciate the redundancy (but could live with it).)
