Who's going? My friend, whose Ds has been invited.

This doesn't deserve a whole thread. I just need to set it down because I'm getting so old I've begun to doubt myself.

Has the use of "whose" completely died out? Or did I imagine its existence?

[ohmymimi]

Still thriving in Mimi world. As is 'whom' and 'thus'.

[ZeroSomeGameThingy]

My new best friend!

Surely who's going is right? Abbreviation od who is.
Whose is possessive, isn't it?
Or have these lovely bottles of Hobgoblin addled my grammar?

[HarrietSchulenberg]

"Abbreviation OF" not "od". Beer fingers.

[ZeroSomeGameThingy]

Well I certainly hope "who's" is right -in the first sentence. And that "whose" is right in the second. Otherwise I've spent a whole half century in a state of confusion.

(But I'm on the app for the first time and can neither check my OP as I type, nor preview what I've written , so error and confusion will soon come to define my posting style.....)

[elQuintoConyo]

It's a perfect sentence. Relax

[HarrietSchulenberg]

Oh durr, didn't notice the "whose". Beer eyes were on last night aswell as fingers, obviously.
Yup, perfect sentence.

I still say "to whom has it been done" and get really irritated by people on the telly saying "to who?"
