"...annoyances with people speaking English incorrectly"

Perhaps this is a totally wrong approach?

I suggest reading Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson.

Who speaks "correct" English? Squire Trelawney? Doctor Livesay? Long John Silver? Or one of the other buccaneers?

Next step: Read The Long Goodbye by Raymond Chandler. Perhaps this book will drive you insane. Or that book? Or it might?

"...who/whom included..."

See who and whom in Swan page 612 ff: "Whom is unusual in modern informal English".

For variations see at the same place. Or is it deviations, or even aberrations?

I'll take a look at my flashcard tonight.

Just some thoughts. Best regards, Karl

    "Totally wrong?" For him or for me? He was expressing his pet peeves and probably has no notion of perlmonks. I, whether consciously or not, had it in my head to learn the difference and when i saw the post, it bothered me enough to read about it. Then i posted what i thought, as a thought.
