Agggggggggh: "to comment objectively."
Sorry, I must try harder.
I had an argument with my aunty this weekend about the proper use of who and whom. The argument went like this:
She corrected my brother's girlfriend on her use of "can" and "may".
I mentioned that I had recently come across a succinct way of describing the rules governing "who" vs "whom" and asked her if she could give an explanation that was widely comprehensible.
She could not and then began to explain that she thought that grammar was redundant and that effectiveness of communication is of paramount importance.
I pointed out that she was quite a capricious grammar nazi.
She got upset.
Nice.
