Then look at the rest of the posts featured on Five Star Friday! I'm a little bit proud and a little bit nervous to be on the same list as some of those big timey bloggers that are being featured this week. If that's not pressure to turn out some good posts this week, I don't know what is.
Thank you so much to whomever? whoever? nominated me.
This is why I can't make money in writing. I can't even tell the difference between who and whom. I feel like if I just go ahead and use "whom" you will just assume that I am right and that I am smart because I use fancy words. It's like adding a "u" in the words colour and behaviour. Only cultured people spell like that. It's like wearing a monocle and lighting long cigarettes with twenty dollar bills.

HI! O.K. in non crazy life I'm a linguist and language teacher (surprise). Whom is an object pronoun (it is the thing the verb is affecting). Using a "u" in words like color is the British spelling.
Thanks
Okay, I am right there with you Lora on that whom vs who ever!
Congratulations!
I laughed when I read this post. In Canada we spell those words with a 'u.' "Colour" "favourite" "behaviour"
I feel so cultured now! lol.
it is really weird that you blogged about monocles bc I almost twittered about them yesterday but couldn't figure out how to spell it.
Hot Stuff my dear.
Or should I say Haute?
1st Hyman Miller- and now you're a ROCKSTAR!!
Congrats (it was a great post!)

That's awesome you are on Five Star Friday, keep it up!
You are fabulous...whether you know how to use whom properly or not! That's what proofreaders are for.
"whom" is totally a fancy word. I'm totally with whomever thinks that.
