I used to think the blond jokes were unfair, but I see where those who made them up did not make them up, they just knew someone like Tomi Lahren, my goodness, she is "stupid as stupid does".

We natural blondes are kind, gentle, warm-hearted people. Looking at photos of her, there appears to be a reason to have doubts about her apparent hair colour.

Because Agolf Twittler told them so.

They don’t have to think. It’s too hard for them; gives them headaches. It’s so much easier to be led around...

17. The sad part
Thu Aug 2, 2018, 02:14 PM
Aug 2018

The sad part is, that if you gave Trumpers this multiple-choice quiz:

Which president ordered the successful assassination of Osama bin Laden?
A. Barack Obama
B. Donald J. Trump


85 percent would get it wrong. At least 85 percent.

They refuse to acknowledge reality.

31. Trying to understand the formula...
Thu Aug 2, 2018, 04:26 PM
Aug 2018

Please excuse my ignorance, as I'm a tech guy, not a writer

But I wanted to better understand the correct usage.

Reading this page, several times heh, leads me to think "whom" is correct...

https://www.grammarbook.com/grammar/whoVwhom.asp

Does the he/him method indicate this test:
"amongst us is him" not "is he."

I'm so confused !!

34. OK, you lured me in. Here it is:
Thu Aug 2, 2018, 06:17 PM
Aug 2018

"Among us" is a prepositional phrase, so "us", as the object of the preposition "among" is appropriate, instead of "we".

The predicate is -- bear with me now because grammar is as tedious as you probably thought -- ". . . can forget."

The subject of that predicate is "Who."

Want more? I know you don't, but I can't help myself: The prepositional phrase "among us" acts as an adjective modifying, or further describing, the noun "who" which, as the subject of the predicate, is in the nominative case.

Finally, Ms Rowling almost certainly let slip the grammatical error because of the subtle brain-draining vibrations given out by the idiot to whom she was responding.

and, apparently, neither can the grammar check in Word. Many times I've tried out a sentence with both "who" and "whom" and either way it tells me everything is okay. (Or maybe that rule is too hard to program?)
