You can't actually say "blah blah blah whom decree" anything at all, it's incredibly bad english. If you had said "To whomever believes I cannot speak english properly, I want to meet you", then that'd be correct ("whomever" because you're addressing a collective noun).
In this case, you're addressing an entire collective in the first person ("all the BLers"), and whom is not applicable. Doesn't the way you've written it just make grinding noises in your brain? English wasn't designed to make sentences a whole lot harder to say (hence why we do things like make h's silent, as per "an history lesson").
Sorry. I'm an english nazi.
And uh, I don't know anyone called Lorraine, and yes, Anna is my real name.
Man. I'm so anal. :D

origonally posted by akshEn74: Oh yeah,i have to meet PhreeX someday(although he scares me a bit)
are you sure about that? I seem to remember a post about paranioa where PhreeX said something along the lines of "just be careful you dont do a PhreeX and start firing into the bushes with an automatic weapon,thinking the DEA are doing surveilance on your house." Id be scared more than a bitlmao
as for me, theres stacks of people from words Id like to meet but other than Tars I have no idea if any of them are aussies.
