"...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 «The Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostrophe»
