Adjective

In grammar, the objective case is a form of a noun or pronoun used as the object of a transitive verb or of a preposition. For example, the objective case of I is me.
Objectivity and Credibility
Credibility-enhancing actions include: Showing you care about the other person and have their best interests at heart. [1]
Language that reduces credibility includes: Totally and absolutely excessive exaggeration. Ibidem
Be objective and specific and support what you say with evidence, such as facts, statistics or testimonials, and don't seek your objective. Be even-handed; If you are presenting possibilities, give all options a fair hearing and don’t leave out important information. If your reader finds out you’ve omitted key facts, you’ll lose credibility.[2]
