I just saw this post... and Willie's correction ("two" instead of "tow")...

Apparently, we now have to worry about grammar AND spelling, irregardless of how bad we are at either or both???!!!

I'm outta here!!! :D

(Catherder, this post was for you.)

This is like the whole your twang says ONVELOPE and her twang says ENVELOPE! Since I have lived in many states, I notice that individuals English, grammar and accents will never be the same as the next city or state. Then you mix in those whom are bilingual or multilingual and they too will be different.

My school didn't give out grades, just smiley face stickers.

And we had to wear helmets and promise not to bite the teachers.

Even I know that Jeni was correct on using the word "whom".

(Just couldn't pass that up.. :p)


I still love you though Chris. :eek:

Who or whom.... Rather than me throwing in some grammar rules, just see which pronoun (he or him) can replace the questionable word. It’s a little trick I learned back in elementary school: If it can be replaced with “he,” you use who; if “him” fits better, use whom. Sometimes you may need to split the sentence to see it. For example, It was Carl—he broke all the pencils in the house. Who should be used here. You asked him to the dance? Whom is the correct choice.

And when in doubt on the “who whom” debacle, recast the sentence to avoid the issue altogether.

In Norway there is a "Christmas calendar" TV series that is called "The julekalender" (The Christmas calendar)
The three main characters all speak norwenglish (Mostly heavily accented English, with Norwegian words here and there)

Disclaimer, I am not promoting binge drinking! :p

There is juleøl in the tynnj
Then the fæst will soon begynnj
Put some juleøl in your cup
When it’s drokke fyll it up
I can hopp – I can run
And it’s very, very fun
Klask your lår – klask your støvel
I can hopp – I can run
And it’s very, very fun
Glæm the trouble – drink a double
This is a song I like to hør
This is music for my ør
Dance a little støvel dance
Dance it while you have the chance
I can hopp – I can run
And it’s very, very fun
Klask your lår – klask your støvel
I can hopp – I can run
And it’s very, very fun
Glæm the trouble – drink a double
On and two and three and fir
Go and swing a nissepi
Five and six and sju and ått
This is good for a nisseknott
I can hopp – I can run
And it’s very, very fun
Klask your lår – klask your støvel
I can hopp – I can run
And it’s very, very fun
Glæm the trouble – drink a double




*
Jul = Christmas
Nisse = santa / goblin .... we don't really have an English word for it as the Norwegian nisse is a bit different
Glem = forget
Klask = Clap / slap / dash
Lår = tigh
Støvel = boot
Hopp = jump

Okay.

I'm game on this.

"Then you mix in those he are bilingual", would be replaced with who, correct?

"Then you mix in those him are bilingual", would instead be replaced with whom, yes?

Neither one makes much sense to me. :(

This is why that point about "splitting the sentence" was interjected. That means that you may have to change a STATEMENT to a QUESTION in your mind, or sometimes completely REVERSE the way is was originally said.

Frankly, "who" has come into such common (even if mistaken) usage, that you can usually get away with that word.
