grammaticality - "I and others" or "others and I"?
I have traditionally learned that a first-person pronoun should always come last in a list, e.g.
Bob and I found this to be interesting.
However, it sounds awkward to me when this rule is used with 'others':
A couple others and I found this to be interesting.
I would be more inclined to go with:
I and a couple others found this to be interesting.
Which sentence is (more) grammatically correct?
Answer
They are all grammatical. Whether or not you put yourself first is a matter of etiquette.
