While watching some movie today, I came across this sentence,
"Me and my friend are going to surprise him."
I'm wondering if the sentence is grammatically correct. It seems to me that it's a colloquial way of saying "My friend and I are going to surprise him." Am I right?
Please help me out here.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
