I just want to say, if I see anyone not using spell check around here, with a misspelling that I can identify at a glance, I'll be taking you to task. Your name is mud around these parts.
Nurses with better spelling than mine, on the other hand, are obviously anal retentive perfectionists. Or else they are using spell check, the great equalizer.
Obvious grammatical errors will be pointed out immediately. And, I expect you educated people to know that:
Your is a singular possessive pronoun
You're is a conjunction of you and are
Their is a plural possessive pronoun
They're is a conjunction of they and are
Loose means the opposite of tight
Lose means the opposite of win
Any questions?
Me too! I heard it today. Whom is fine.I've never heard "finna" though.
I'm beginning to get a complex here.
I hear "finna" all the time, everyday. Maybe not in professional settings, but in everyday speech, all the time. I'll even admit to using it myself. I know it's totally not a real word, but haven't you ever said/heard "I'm finna go to the store" in causal conversation?
Saying "whom" everyday, never heard of "finna".... did you all go to finishing school in 19th century England or something?

Never said "finna" and actually grabbed my brother and told him to never speak that way. I guess I gravitate towards conversation that includes the use of words such as these. :)
'Whom' is the objective case, 'who' is the subjective case. In other words, one uses 'whom' with it's the object in the sentence, and 'who' when it's the subject of the sentence. Examples:
Who is going to the park with whom? Jill is going to the park with Jack. Jill is the subject in the sentence and Jack is the object in the sentence.
Compare it to 'I' and 'me'. 'I' is the subjective case of the personal pronoun and 'me' is the objective case. Examples:
I am going to the park with Jack. ---'I' in this sentence is the subject of the sentence, Jack is the object.
Jack is going to the park with me. ---Jack is the subject of this sentence and 'me' is the object.
Same with who and whom.

Honestly, I've never heard "finna" before. I had no idea what it meant until someone explained it.
I've lived all over California - north to south and back north again. Beach communities, mountain communities. Rural, not rural.
Never heard "finna".
Hear "whom" every day.
Don't get a complex . . .I'm feeling odd for not ever hearing "finna".

Apparently so! This thread is the very first time in my life I've ever heard "finna" - what the heck is that, anyway?

Then that's when you silently pat yourself on the back for being one of the few who understand the use of the word "whom". Lol Now, if you correct someone then that's different. :)
