Whomever is a made up word used to trick students.
Click to viewWe talked about who vs whom today in my copyediting class. This was, of course, all I could think of.
I was the the only person in the class, aside from the prof (who had just learned the trick the previous week) who knew the he vs him trick to logicing out whether to use who or whom. Since she didn't know it very well, she asked me to teach the class on the section. It was really nerve-wracking, but I felt really awesome. Copyediting is unbelievably dull some days, but I'm so glad I decided to take it. I've learned so much that really helps me improve my own writing. Luckily, our prof plans to change the lessons and make them more interactive with more in class work. Listening to a classmate read aloud points on a chapter you've already read is just not that enthralling. At all.
I'm also starting my sci-fi story for Genre Fiction (sweet baby Jesus, I love that class). We're allowed to choose between fantasy and sci-fi for the project and never having taken a go and sci-fi before, I've decided to at least see where this takes me. I'm doing a post apocalyptic piece. That's all I know. It's due tuesday and I have two sentences done.
Come ooooon, inspiration.
