Might take a trip back to fifth grade, a-là Billy Madison and brush up on basic grammar, bud. "I" is correct usage in this case.

Which case? I too? Yes it is. If you mean the whole My 5th grade friends and I? Let's break it down. Here's a pic of my 5th grade friends. Here's a Pic of I. Grammatically incorrect, Bud. Poster is referring to the pic.

The title is a FRAGMENT so you can't tell! That's why y'all are confused. "Here ARE my friends and I" would be one sentence, while "Here's a pic OF my friends and me" would be another. Transitive verb to be goes with what in Latin would be nominative case, while OF is a preposition. subjective vs objective case in English depends on what ge verb is or would be if implied (e.g. "John is taller than I (am)* according to our dear English teachers who had us diagram sentences back in the day!

So, am I wrong? That was way more than I usually pay attention to

"of friends and I" is definitely wrong. the caption doesn't say of though- the words could be part of a different phrase (e.g. "here are my friends and I") so it's ambiguous. neither word (I/me) is wrong/right bc in not a full sentence but a fragment (i.e. error)

I was in 5th grade during the '77-'78 school year. Star Wars was still fresh in everyone's mind from the previous summer and President Carter was still new-ish.
