Raw Evil said:My question is:
Why, why, WHY is it that, the day before something big is due, something BAD happens to it????
For example, a large programming project that I am working on as part of a team, for which a demonstration is due tomorrow, has just recently developed a weird inexplicable crash bug that only surfaces when the program is compiled WITHOUT debugging mode on.
And with the debugging mode on, it's running really REALLY slow, which is preventing me from being able to test certain features of it!
Why does this shit only happen when it's important that it doesn't?

Perhaps not, but, as I initially hinted and as vibr8tor pointed out, there would be no problem making a case for you not getting certain jobs over this silliest of ignorances. At this point I call it ignorance, rather than misunderstanding, because you've made it quite apparent that it is. Rather than take a step towards learning the concept, you've chosen to argue it, simply for the sake of arguing.lacey k said:I realllllllllly doubt anyone could ever make a case for the fact that using the wrong form of "who"/"whom" could ever cause confusion about what someone is saying.
vibr8tor said:My random question is... why is the religious right so into life support? Aren't they the ones that should be ok with letting "god" determine when the end should come? I don't get it.
goatofthenever said:You're right, the world does make the rules, but it also changes them. I don't see to many people using the word "whom" much less speaking it. "Who" is generally excepted as the correct word for both. Unless you're applying for a job as a editor or the like I don't see it making a difference.

You can get all the props you want here for how cool you are to be keepin' it real yo. When it comes to putting real food on the real table out in the real world, however, Bloolait speak won't get you very far. It's basic english and it's what the world (your world) runs on. We didn't make the rules, the world did. Follow them or get left behind. It's really that simple.
