It's hard.......the beating part. Not sure if English has changed from my days, but it just seems everything is less structured. An example which bothers me about my daughter is when she uses "Me and my friend" instead of "My friend and I". 

I was always taught the correct way was "My friend and I" and keep correcting her for it. But then when I read the books she reads, they write it as "Me and my friend" and it seems like that's what her teacher says as well.....so which is the correct way??
