No because technically "you are" denotes something that is presently happening, whereas "you shall" is future tense.
Also Sony you -repped lol

It's objective because it follows a preposition. You wouldn't say "Someday, you're coming over to watch a game with I" would you?

No, but since theres another person in there you would say "and I" insted of "and Me".
If I was saying to my friend "your comming over to watch a game with me" that would be right.
But since theres another name in there, its "your comming over to watch a game with Jared and I"

No it isn't, having a name in doesn't change the grammatical objectivity.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objective_(grammar)
"and I" is just used by people who think it looks good, like people who try but fail at using whom.

Umm... No.
In Canada, when adding I is the proper way..
Also, your wiki link doesn't work.

You wouldn't say "Someday, you're coming over to watch a game with I." Adding another name doesn't change that...

Whos to say what "normal" english is?
Many different people from around the world speak english, and they have their own words and rules for it. So hows to say what "normal" english is?
And susie, if you knew how to speak english, you would know that if your saying another persons name, you always put their name first and then add I.
If theres no name, you say me.

If in doubt, take your friend out of the sentence.
Me and my friend went to a party last night. [Wrong]
I and my friend went to a party last night. My friend and me went to a party last night. [Wrong]
My friend and I went to a party last night.
The mayor has invited me and my husband.
The mayor has invited I and my husband. [Wrong]
The mayor has invited my husband and me.
The mayor has invited my husband and I. [Wrong]
Just because it may sound 'posh' does not make it grammatically correct.
Oh, and I think the people who publish the Oxford English dictionary should know. Not some... Canadian.

If I was saying this to anyone, I wouldn't say 'someday' anyways.
"Someday, your comming over to watch a game with Jared and Me.
OR
Someday, your comming over to watch a game with Jared and I."
I'd say
"You have to come over and watch a game with me and Jared sometime"

Oxford English is the main one and what England says kind of goes considering we invented the language. Go steal someone else's language, oh wait. French. Yes. Go and speak some French and then ask pathetic questions about French grammar so we educated people can look down at you.

TBH I'd have said you should put the names the other way around.. so it would be;
Someday, you're going to come over and watch a game with Me and Jared.

That passage has at least one grammar mistake in it, so that's a bit contradictory.
If you're so sad that you imitate someone who works on Countdown then you seriously have no life whatsoever.

Why don't you give some evidence on the grounds of which what you're saying might actually have some truth to it? Because you're wrong, you don't know what you're talking about and you're fat. So shut up.
