"Me" is the objective case of the pronoun, the object of the verb "is." "I" is the subject of the sentence, and the "it" is pointing towards the "I." So aside from sounding a touch Dudley Do-Right, you're all right. Which one you're going to use will depend on what subtleties of tone you want to convey. What you wouldn't do is say, "Want to talk perfect, like I?"

A few years ago I spotted an ad in a local newspaper for a job at the Royal Grammer School, High Wycombe.
I am not making this up.

Auto-correct changed extubation to extinction in one of my SiL's texts funny / not funny.

I'm curious if our dear friend Carruthers has much experience with AutoCorrect and, more comically, any experience at all with the stupidly funny DYAC.
...moments later..... NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Stroke... hmm... it's probably a good thing that coxswain is pronounced "cox'n."

I've noticed something recently while listening to Youtube reactors and reviewers - I've only noticed it with Americans but it could also be something some do over here as well and maybe I just haven't noticed it.
When referring to a single event or moment in a show, they'll say 'whenever X character did that thing, it was great.' Where I would say 'When character X did that thing it was great.' I've noticed it with so many different youtubers - is it a difference between American and British English, a generational thing, a regional thing?
