By the way, my hair is pink now and this'll be the shortest chapter yet.

This chapter is about the difference between 'who' and 'whom'. You can probably tell by now that I'm running out of topics to write on, as nobody really uses 'whom' anymore (unless you are a nobody, in which case you're not included in my estimates).

The definitions, according to Google Dictionary, who has become my very good friend:

WHO - what or which person or people.

WHOM - used instead of "who" as the object of a verb or preposition.

I'll be honest, 'whom's definition was shitty. It didn't explain anything (but at least it did a better job than I could).

Now I shall share the trick to fix this grammar mistake. If you can replace the word with 'he', 'she' or 'they', use 'who'. If you can replace the word with 'him', 'her' or 'them', use 'whom'. If you can use any one of these pronouns, you're screwed (just kidding, just kidding - PM me and I'll help in any way I can).

Until the next chapter, stay fresh, cheese bags.
