I loved the opening scene showing Sherlock's almost visceral discomfort with language inaccuracies - his cringing at "weren't a real man" was real, and his dismissive "Hanged...yes" was classic. But then in A Scandal in Belgravia he says (to Mycroft) "You knew others were after her (Adler) before you sent John and I in there" - the correct phrasing would be "you sent John and me" instead of " you sent John and I". I replayed it to make sure I'd heard right, and it was my turn to cringe :( This "I vs. me" seems to be a common colloquial error that a lot of people in Britain make; still, that's no excuse for Sherlock whose grammar and choice of words is otherwise nothing less than impeccable.
