GRAMMAR Q.
"Call me direct if you have any problems." - I'm trying to work out the direct object of this sentence. I know that an object should be able to answer a what/who Q. after the main verb. So, my reckonings are: 'Call' is the main verb, which makes 'me' the object, as there is a hidden subject 'you', i.e. "(You) call me.."
What do you think?

OK, now I think "me" is the indirect object, which makes "direct" the direct object, right?? Can an adverb be a direct object?

Okay, so I did my reading (and I don't want you to trust me too much on this because it's been about three years since I did any real worksheets or anything on these things), but I'm pretty sure your first instinct was correct. 'Me' is the the direct object. 

The problem with the sites (and the worksheets and books) that explain these concepts is that they use extremely simple sentence structures, whereas this example is a little more complex.

Thank you, snooganism! I'll go with that, though I might leave the Q open to invite some argument on the matter, seeing as though you're not 100%. That said, thanks for helping me :) Also, your nick is very cool!
