When posting a caption for a picture, which is grammatically correct? ';Bob and I'; or ';Bob and me';

';Bob and me'; is the grammatically correct caption for the picture and is also accurate for the other situations asked.When posting a caption for a picture, which is grammatically correct? ';Bob and I'; or ';Bob and me';
Additional information added 12/17:





If it's just to label a picture of the two of you, it would be ';Me and Bob'; or ';Bob and Me.'; The implied complete sentence is, ';[This is] me and Bob.'; You wouldn't say, ';This is I.'; So, you'd use the same pronoun along with a conjunction (in this case ';and';) as you would without it.





The same applies to your sentence, ';Bob and Me at Disneyland.'; You wouldn't say, ';I at Disneyland.'; The implied complete sentence is, ';This is Bob and Me at Disneyland.';

Depends on what message you're trying to convey. Here are two examples of how the sentence can be written:





';Bob and I had a wonderful time on this cruise!'; In this example, you and Bob are the subject. You wouldn't say, ';Me had a wonderful time...'; You'd say, ';I had a wonderful time...'; Therefore, the conjunction ';and'; ties the two subjects together. ';Bob and I...';





';This vacation cruise was like therapy for me and Bob.'; In this example, you and Bob are the objects. You wouldn't say, ';..was like therapy for I.'; You'd say, ';...was like therapy for me.'; Therefore, the conjunction ties the two objects together. ';...me and Bob.';When posting a caption for a picture, which is grammatically correct? ';Bob and I'; or ';Bob and me';
This depends on what you are trying to convey. In the absence of other information, I assume that you want to say, ';This is a picture of Bob and me'; ( which is a grammatically correct sentence).


Thus use the caption ';Bob and me';.
Well, for your situation, mentioning only the names without placing them in a sentence where they are a subject or object, I think ';hey, thats bob and me in disney world'; is more appropriate. Try replacing that with plural pronoun, would you say ';bob and we';! I dont think so.(I=we, me=us). Why dint you just say ';me and bob';that will work
if it's a picture of the two of you, you'd say its a picture of Bob and me.





(a pcture of Bob as well as a picture of me)
Bob and I.
Bob and I is grammatically correct.
bob and me
Bob and I
The correct answer is, ';Bob and me.';





Think of it this way:





Suppose it was just you in the picture, without Bob.





You wouldn't title the picture, ';I';, you would title the picture, ';Me.';





Simple as that. = ]
Bob and I is correct =]
