The King and me and a few others had been working on this thing. We got all the way out to the "before we head back" part and found a bit of a muddy mess. So...to keep folks from gettin dirty, we did some S-A-N-I-T-I-Z-I-N-G.... Nothin but good clean fun here :D

The proper wording would be "The king and myself". A phraseology engineer you are not.(PS. nice bridge.)

Didn't want to to put "Me" before the King of the Forest, or take credit for building the boardwalk. Most of the credit goes to His Honor... ;)

Well... Technically it should be "The king and I". The easiest way to know is to drop everything but the first person portion and try again. Let's do that, shall we?

Originally...
The King and me and a few others had been working on this thing.

Original with first person only.
Me had been working on this thing.

First Alternative
Myself had been working on this thing.

Proper
I had been working on this thing.

So is that a step-up move onto the rock before the bridge or do you plan to put a ramp in? It looks abrupt in the photo; certainly rideable, but some people may have trouble.

I agree with the cat BBQ man on the grammar lesson.

OK the wait is over. The abrupt step-up has been de-abrupted. That's a real word. I looked it up.
