Wince time!

Seen in a report at work 'she is living with her brother whom has a 4 bedroom house'. I'm afraid many of my fellow 'professionals' love the word 'whom' but sadly have no idea how it should be used. To think these people have degrees....

Some years ago I answered the phone and a voice said "Hello absent. This is Sandra". I have a cousin called Sandra, but we don't often chat on the phone. We started a conversation and it soon became clear that there was a serious degree of confusion, so I asked, "To whom did you wish to speak?" The woman on the other end of the phone replied, "I must have a wrong number. I don't know anybody who says whom."

absentgrana . She had obviously never met any Social Workers! (Maybe that's a good thing )

My 91 year old Dad has just rung to say that his woman has been in and done him up and down good and proper.
I think he is referring to the cleaner who has made a good job of cleaning his house!

He clearly has a very good way with words, Mishap.

Maybe not mishap
