…I wish you’d learn how to speak English just a little bit better than this when making your case for it. It’s “Show Congress for whom you’re fighting.” Perhaps if you wanted to word it even better than that, then you should say this: “Show Congress for whom it’s fighting.” Thanks, Chief.
You’d never get it past an editor these days, though.
Wait? Which part wouldn’t I get past an editor? What I wrote, or what Barack’s team wrote? Or are you referring to what Jaffer wrote?
Let’s face it – the word ‘whom’ is slowly disappearing from our vocabularies and is being replaced by ‘who’ – no matter how hard the grammar nazis try !
I see this now more often on cover-letters –
‘To Whoever Concerned:’
Huh – It sounds so impersonal. I’ll give it to the lab rat to chew on.
As one of those “grammar Nazis,” I take exception to your comment.
Shouldn’t it be “To Whom It Concerns”? I think so. Also are you trying to be a smart ass by ending your last sentence with a preposition also? Nice job.
‘on’ is a preposition right ? … hmm… “to chew on” … hmm … if it could be put another way … umm … looks like I am not sleeping tonight …
I think it would be: “I’ll give it to the lab rat on which he can chew.”
That does sound right, but I don’t feel it ends strongly !
(Yawn!) Have a good night/morning.
You’re right, though, that “chew on” sounds like a better ending. Oh, well.
Will have a good night/morning as soon as basketball games are over.
