@McTag,
But you've certainly attempted to mislead with notions you know
to be fatuous.

What has "whose" to do with anything?

@JTT,

If you can't keep up*, JTT, I suggest you crawl back under your stone.

*or be helpful, polite, relevant or useful.

@McTag,
"keep up", on language issues, McTag. That's a good one.

@Setanta,
I'm ok will you being an illiterate can't Setanta.

A long time ago, my teacher told us we could not say
-She did not meet whom he loves.
But today I heard on the radio:
-She did not see whom he struck.
If you agree the first one is wrong and the second correct, what is the difference between them?


"Who" can replace "whom" in those sentences despite your imprecations to the contary you jejune dullard.

Perhaps if you gave more thought to your errant advice to everyone in general, paid attention to what your wife must surely counsel, and learnt from what JTT is impelled to thrust repeatedly down your throat then you might become capable of posting something with a semblance of sanity.

Stick to your knitting dear.

"Keep up" on the posts on a thread, and their meaning, I was referring to, not "language issues".
"Language issues" is not a phrase I favour. It's an example of a kind of insiders' glib jargon. You keep telling us how good you are on "language issues". It's the other issues you have a problem with: those on relevance, courtesy, brevity, accuracy and usefulness. Without these your comments are not helpful and are often counter-productive.

@knaivete,
I suspect that you don't the proper use of "imprecation," or of "jejune." You in fact are the one offering a jejune answer to the question. Who can replace whom--but it is incorrect. Those who are students of English as a foreign language want to know what is correct, notg what you are comfortable with, even though it is incorrect.

This really has become a bug up your ass,hasn't it, Boobala?

@Setanta,
Setanta: Who can replace whom -- but it is incorrect.

Setanta is wrong, again.

Setanta is completely full of every known type of dung in the world.
This happens all too often in these language threads.

Students actually have much to learn from his frequent errors as long
as someone is there to catch him.

Knaivete, Set is a coward who won't read my posts. He really really has
a problem accepting correction, probably because he needs it so often.

@Setanta,
"Set's first sentence"

Wrong again, Set. One of you favorite tricks and you can't even get
it right.

What the hell does a seemingly intelligent lady like Beth see in a
dullard like you?
