Historyenne, I think I love you! It's nice to know I'm not the only person obsessed with the correct use of object pronouns!  [smiley=smitten.gif]

So does this mean I'm not the only one who shouts "WHOM!!" at her phone to facebook when it asks me "with who?" when I'm tagging people in posts?

 :D Too funny! I just got back from a week in Cornwall and was just checking on new posts and find the post has turned into a grammar lesson! My daughter (nicknamed the grammar nazi) would love it! She is constantly correcting everyone!

All I know about grammar I learned from School House Rock. So I have conjunctions down pretty well - and as a side benefit I know how a bill becomes a law.

Lol, she is! She can get quite annoying though when she goes through my Facebook posts correcting me. If I dare type anything in "text talk" to her, which is very rare anyways, I never hear the end of it!

She is only 13 and she loves to read and write so I assume that is where she gets it from. I've always HATED grammar  ;D

I guess I'm lucky as well as no one really cares I'm American. Though having lived over here I can see America and Americans for a different POV. I can't say I disagree with all of what people say about us to be honest. I cringe a lot at loud Americans, in fact I try to avoid them more often than not.

Usually I hear from people I know "That I've changed their mind on Americans", that some of us aren't living out the American stereotype! Because it does exist! lol It's the minority that isn't from what I've seen!
