This holds true for “whom” also.

Yep, but in reality, it is classier to use proper grammar.

I wholeheartedly agree with you about this one. Maybe we start calling everyone, "worstie" and see if it catches on.

I really dislike when a couple says "We're pregnant!" Only one person is pregnant. There is no "we're" pregnant. I've been pregnant and I've given birth. Although my husband is the father of our kids, he was never pregnant - I was. I'll leave it at that so I don't get chastised.

It's nearly as bad as "she's having my baby."

BFF. Oh my dog ya'll, I had to end a friendship because she called me her "bff" in public. I was mortified.

"FJB". My neighbor has this in lights on his roof (hey, I live in Arizona).
I would ask him what he has against Jeff Bezos, but he would probably go on at great length.

Huh. I was sure that meant "Let's Go Brandon" but then the acronym doesn't work.
