Response:
Well, my grammar sucks but at least explain so people can learn and not make the mistake twice. It’s "whom" if preceded by a preposition such as "to". So it is "to whom" , "by whom" or "after whom". Sort of falls in that "me – I " situation: I wrote the letter. The letter was written by me. I hated grammar but I guess some of it stuck. Bev
if you hate grammar, but want to learn it anyway, i can highly recommend _The Deluxe Transitive Vampire_ and _The Well-Tempered Sentence_, both by Karen Elizibeth Gordon. American English wouldn’t suffer so much if these were used as textbooks lee

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Found in another newsgroup: Dear Dr. Laura, Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind then that Leviticus 18:22 clearly stated it to be an abomination to the Lord. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how best to follow them. A) When I burn a bull on the alter as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors: they claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them? B) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 2:17. In this day and age, what do you think a fair price for her would be? C) I Know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness. (Lev. 15:19-24) The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense. D) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can’t I own Canadians? E) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states that he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself? F) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don’t agree. Can you settle this? G) Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the alter of the Lord if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20 or is there some wiggle room here? H) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die? I) I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean. May I still play football if I wear gloves? J) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread. (It looks like some sort of cotton/poly blend.) He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev. 24:10-16) Couldn’t we just burn them to death at a private affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev 20:14.) I know that you have studied these things extensively, so I’m confident that you can help. Thanks for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and unchanging.

Sorry to have upset you, Colette. I didn’t intend my response to refer to you specifically, I was having a bit of a go at Polar, who I’ve met on another group. The who/whom dichotomy has never come automatically to me – I sometimes have to think about it. Since I learned on that other group that "who" is these days accepted in all circumstances, I have given up trying to think about it – I’m a lazy bahstahd Except of course when I wish to sound pretentious, as in: "To whom are you referring, my good man?"

Top Brass Early Retirement The Pentagon recently discovered it had too many generals and offered an early retirement bonus. They promised any general who retired straight away his full annual benefits plus $10,000 for every inch measured in a straight line between any two points of the general’s body, with the general getting to select any pair of points he wished. The first man, an Air Force general, accepted. He asked the pension man to measure from the top of his head to the tip of his toes. Six feet. He walked out with a check of $720,000. The second man, an Army general, asked them to measure from the tip of his outstretched hands to his toes. Eight feet. He walked out with a check for $960,000. When the third general, a grizzled old Marine, was asked where to measure, he told the pension man: "From the tip of my penis to the bottom of my testicles." The pension man suggested that perhaps the Marine general might like to reconsider, pointing out the nice checks the previous two generals had received. The Marine insisted and the pension expert said that would be fine but that he’d better get the medical officer to do the measuring. The medical officer attended and asked the general to drop em. He did. The medical officer placed the tape on the tip of the general’s penis and began to work back. "My God!" he said, "Where are your testicles?" The general replied, "In Vietnam." Something to think about… "In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. "In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. "China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. "Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated. "Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated." "Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. "Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million. The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, ask them "Who do YOU want to round up and exterminate?"

Not to be speaking for Dr. Laura but, no, it is not necessary for you to do these things, because although you are right, gods law is eternal, it does indicate with further research that those rules, etc. (referring to the law covenant), were done away with by the establishment of the ‘new convenant’ as stated in Hebrews 8:6-8, 13 and Hebrews 9:1, 9-13 "6 But now [Jesus] has obtained a more excellent public service, so that he is also the mediator of a correspondingly better covenant, which has been legally established upon better promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, no place would have been sought for a second; 8 for he does find fault with the people when he says: "’Look! There are days coming,’ says Jehovah, ‘and I will conclude with the house of Israel and with the house of the former one obsolete. Now that which is made obsolete and growing old is near to vanishing away." "1 For its part, then, the former [covenant] used to have ordinances of sacred illustration for the appointed time that is now here, and in keeping with it requirements pertaining to the flesh and were imposed until the appointed time to set things straight. 11 However, when Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have come to pass, through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, 12 he entered, no, not with the blood of goats and of young bulls, but with his own blood, once for all time into the holy place and obtained an everlasting deliverance [for I’m sure you will find that a quite a relief, it was pretty tough keeping up with all those rules! Of course, some rules linger, but God made sure they were restated in the new testament so we wouldn’t be confused (ref. Romans 1:25-27 1 Corinthians 6:9, 10), so we are not completely off the hook! Maybe Dr. Laura would have said it differently? I cannot speak for her :)
