    While we’re on a thread about English grammar, “who’s” means “who is.” The possessive of “who” is “whose.”

    Sorry.

          Grammar pedantry is way more annoying than any grammar mistake.

          Interesting thing about grammar and spelling is that incorrect grammar/spelling is only incorrect until it’s not.

          Language is dynamic and is changed based on how people use it, and if people use it “wrong” in the same way enough times it becomes right.
