You are the hero we deserve Big Daddy, but not the one we need.

Calling him out the second time was damn funny though

I'm just impressed someone who went to Alabama actually knows what grammar is. I bet he had a field day in the lockerroom correcting his teammates grammar.

It was funny....but the only people that catch that one (re-tweet) are teachers and people fresh out of an English class.

Also when is it who versus whom? I always get that confused.

The easiest way to answer this is it's "whom" when the person you're talking about is receiving the action of something.

To whom are you talking to? It's whom in this case because the person is receiving the action of being talked to.

Barbara Mack also taught me if the answer is him or them (or her,) then the question is whom. "If it ends in 'm', it starts with 'm'."

To whom did you send the package to? I sent the package to him.

Who brought the package? He brought the package.

“The amount of notifications I’m receiving for being called out by @EvanMathis69 are unreal.”

He missed one: The number of notifications I’m receiving...

Your basic guidelines are correct, but omit the second "to": To whom did you send the package? To whom are you talking?

That's funny :biglaugh:

You're right. B. Mack would be pulling on my hair, if she were here.

I need coffee.

The bottomless pit of making your own grammatical errors in posts that are corrections of grammatical errors of others and having someone correct yours.

I love it when an error is done on purpose in a correction, but even more when it is unintentional.

And now I'm a target.

Never start a sentence with "and."
