Welcome to class today! Today's lesson will be over spelling.
If you don't spell words correctly, people will think you're unintelligent. Here are some commonly misspelled words on this forum, with the misspellings to the right: misspelled mispell where were our/are are/our my mah shit shyt asian azn back baq the letter "o" 0 The right column spellings are incorrect. Do not spell these words that way. Yes, this lesson is shorter than the other, but these are just words Ms. Kim and I have noticed to be misspelled often. Don't forget, our test will be on Friday. |

QUOTE(sporadic @ Jun 22 2005, 12:55 PM) Who is a nominative pronoun (i.e. it is a subject), as in "Who is wearing the blue shirt?" Whom is an objective pronoun (i.e. it is the object of a preposition), as in "With whom are you going to the movies tonight?" (In this case, whom is the object of with.) Note that this makes the common construct "Who are you going to the movies with tonight?" grammatically incorrect (doubly so because it is improper to end a sentence or phrase with a preposition, since prepositions require objects). |

Note that this makes the common construct "Who are you going to the movies with tonight?" grammatically incorrect (doubly so because it is improper to end a sentence or phrase with a preposition, since prepositions require objects). A good way to figure out if you should use 'whom' or 'who:' Take the beginning of the sentence up to where you must place 'whom' or 'who' and place it at the end. Example: "Are you going to the movies tonight with ***?" Then decide whether him/her or he/she fits in the sentence. If it is either him/her, then use whom. If it is either he/she, then use who. Example: "Are you going to the movies tonight with 'him?' You would not say 'with he.' Therefore, the sentence requires a 'whom.' I love this thread. I am a writer, and misuse of grammar is one of my pet peeves. |
