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?

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

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?

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

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.....)

It's a perfect sentence. Relax Grin

HarrietSchulenberg · 22/02/2014 21:33

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?"
