When do you use whom compared to who?

When to use a , : ;  ?

When quoting,  does the punctuation go in the quotes or on the outside?  How about if it is a short quote?

What is special about OHIO?

Wha is special about Ohio?  It is HI in the middle and ROUND on both ends!

Okay bad humor.  It's how you say Good Morning (or hello) in Japanese

I believe "None of them are correct" is correct. It's a circumstantial phrase. It's like saying "If I were...", which is grammatically correct even though "was" he almost always used with "I" and "were" used with "you".

Huh? I thought "hello" in Japanese is Konichiwa.

A ; is used when you have another complete sentence that finishes the idea in the previous sentence.

Who is used when it is a subject or predicate noun. Whom is an indirect object, direct object, and object of preposition.

None Are, Them are
None are correct.
None and them are both non-singular...


Nice thought though.... :-)

I liked Squirrelled above btw.

RE: None of them is/are correct.

"None" is a singular noun, and "is" should be used with such words.  To use "Are" would be like saying, "I are smart."

But you have them which indicate that none is plural.

The prepositional phrase "of them" is a complement of the singluar noun phrase "none", and it does not make "none" plural.

With mass nouns, you have to use the singular.  ("None of the
wheat is...")  With count nouns, you can use either the singular or
the plural.  ("None of the books is..." or "None of the books
are...")  Usually, the plural sounds more natural, unless you're
trying to emphasize the idea of "not one", or if the words that
follow work better in the singular.

Well then, grammatically, "none is" is correct. I'll pull out my encyclopedia later after I run some errands.

Suzi, I stand corrected.... sort of.....
Although I can not find those words in the Merriam Webster Dictionary, I have found them in other dictionaries.
So that question (albeit answered properly for some reason above) is invalid when applied to Scientific terminology.

I note though that most of them are variants.... The "Proper" term is Apodal

Thanks.

As for Subbookkepper, What the heck is a subbookkeeper?

That is not in any of the 5 dictionaries I have searched......

Do we get a prize if we find it used as anything but the word with 4 double letters?

Yes - but can anyone tell me the 3 two-letter words for "small"?



-R

well -
Ae = one
Ti = Small Tree
Em = a printer's measure (which is a largest space)
and
En = 1/2 an Em so it is a small space.

ae ti en

Unless this is on of those jokes "Me Ti Ne"
