Note: As the above examples demonstrate, when one of the co-owners is written as a pronoun,
use possessive adjectives (my, your, her, our, their). Avoid possessive
pronouns (mine, yours, hers, ours, theirs) in such constructions.
NOTE
Do not combine a subject pronoun and an object pronoun in phrases like her and I or he and me.
Whenever and or or links an object pronoun (her, me) and a subject pronoun (he, I), one of those
pronouns will always be wrong.
Incorrect: Her and I went home.
Correct: She and I went home. (She went and I went.)
