minus-squareMr_Blott@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up30·2 年前I like the way you managed to use the correct “whom” to sound posh then completely fucked it up with the “at” on the end :)
minus-squareFat Tony@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 年前Yeah that’s the perfect way to describe my English in general ^^.
minus-squareMr_Blott@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 年前You mean “Yeah that’s generally the way to describe my English in general” 🙃
minus-squarePissnpink@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·edit-22 年前You can end a sentence on a prepositional phrase. That’s an old style suggestion, not a rule.

minus-squarefrezik@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up25·edit-22 年前The Kelly cartoons are done by a progressive pretending to be a conservative. The Onion often gets hate letters from progressives who think it’s genuinely conservative, and more glowing letters from conservatives who think the same.
minus-squareSotuanduso@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·2 年前Taking into account that this is the Onion, it’s probably aimed at at everyone like the good ol’ days.
