English is bent to our will in daily life and yet people act like God wrote the law on how to speak English and we're all committing sins of biblical proportions.

No. You know what ? "Me and Mark" is perfectly okay because you understood exactly what the sentence meant. That's the purpose of language.

Several counter-points:

  • There is an unnecessary space before your question mark.
  • Ideally, you should use single quotes when distinguishing words or phrases within the text
  • The phrase 'and yet' is redundant. Simply "yet" would have been more appropriate.

I believe if you check closely, this rebuttal is ironclad.

Your rebuttal has no iron or steel covering any spots, thus it cannot be considered ironclad
