Whom does that sort of thing? 😁😃😄

That bothers me too. I was upset to see a movie titled The Killer That Stalked New York (1950), but it's right, "that" not "who".

@hunkalove That would upset me too. It's just so obvious that "who/whom" are the only grammatically correct words to refer to a person.

@everythingisalreadytakenagain you're wrong.

Or 'there's' instead of 'there are' when referring to a singular. 'There are a lot of countries', not 'there's a lot of countries.'
Or "less" instead of 'fewer." Less is a measurement of volume. Fewer refers to individual items. 'There are fewer people at the game', not 'there are less people at the game.'
Its - possessive. Only used in the possessive. Its own façade was cracking.
It's - a contraction of it is. 'It's a shame' for 'it is a shame.'

It's / its is purely usage. I have a mental block when it comes to these words. I know the usage, but I type something else.

It’s is an abbreviation for it is hence the apostrophe

@PaleandPolluted "It's" is an abbreviation of "It is". "Its" means it belongs to it.

Should be whom not who! Lol

@SW-User Not for most sentences. "Whom" is only used in sentences like: "to whom are you referring to"

@everythingisalreadytakenagain the 'Lol' at the end is a clue. *no humour here!*
