Well, I think grammar mistakes in speaking are inevitable.
I fall victim of saying words like "You was" or "He don't" all the time because I tend to mix up singular and plural when I am talking. Especially in an unprepared speech when I am nervous, my grammar is really screwed up.

At least I will try to speak in proper grammar during formal interviews, etc.

How about you, do you speak in proper grammar?

The occasional "him and me" slips out once in a while.
I am sorry oh grammar faries.

Actually, "him and me" can be proper grammar in an appropriate sentence.

i.e. "That's between him and me." wink.gif
