Between you and me vs Between you and I
Between you and me, the phrase "between you and I" grates on my ears like nails on a chalkboard. I hear the wrong version about 3 times as often as I hear it said the right way, so lets get this straightened out once and for all.

Pronunciation / Prononciation / Pronunciación

Simple past -ed pronunciation
http://www.elearnenglishlanguage.com/esl/grammar/verbs/simplepast-pronunciation.html
There are three ways to pronounce the final -ed of regular verbs in the simple past tense. This pronunciation is determined by the final sound of the verb in the infinitive: Is it a voiced consonant, an unvoiced consonant, or a vowel sound?

Prononciation de la terminaison -ed
http://www.elearnenglishlanguage.com/anglais/grammaire/verbes/passesimple-prononciation.html
Le morphème -ed à la fin du passé simple de verbes réguliers a trois prononciations possibles. Cette prononciation est déterminée par la lettre finale du verbe dans l'infinitif : si c'est une consonne sourde, une consonne voisée ou une voyelle.

Pronunciación de la terminación -ed

El morfema -ed al fin del pasado simple (pretérito) de los verbos regulares tiene tres pronunciaciones posibles. Ese depende del sonido final del verbo en el infinitivo. Hay que determinar si el sonido es una consonante sorda, una consonante sonora o una vocal.
