    It's a fine line though.... nearly all of us break grammatical rules of English to avoid sounding like a prat LOL

    For example... most of us don't use the word "whom" we just use "who" instead even though "who" is meant to be reserved for a question. Most of us would say "who were you referring to?" instead "of whom were you referring?"
