Question about English (US)
While watching some movie today, I came across this sentence,
"Me and my friend are going to surprise him."
I'm wondering if the sentence is grammatically correct. It seems to me that it's a colloquial way of saying "My friend and I are going to surprise him." Am I right?
Please help me out here.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

It's technically not grammatically correct, but few people will notice if you say it. My dad used to get mad if I said "Me and..." haha
