一、Randolph Quirk于1972年在A Grammar of Contemporary English中還認為是“非正式用法”，不知什么原因到后來卻上升為“這種用法受到廣泛的譴責”。
二、既然《美國文學教程》(“Aside from being used as a textbook of American literature for English majors of the university, A Course in American Literature may benefit the broad masses of English learners, considerably, in their advanced studies.”)是供“除了可以被高校英語專業用作美國文學教材外，也可以供進入高級階段的廣大英語學習者使用”，里面出現非正式文體是理所當然的，作為學英語的高級學習者(advanced learners)應該接觸各種各樣的文體，況且《美國文學教程》所選的文章也未必都是正式文體。
盡管有人認為“強調主語時，人稱代詞用賓格”屬于非正式用法—— 這只是語法專家在研究領域設置的禁令 —— 至于是非正式用法還是正式用法，那是語法專家的事，其他人根本不管，仍然照用不誤。請看英美語中，“強調主語時，人稱代詞用賓格形式”的真實例證：
