"Who/Whom" is easy. "Who" is used for the nominative case, "Whom" is used for the dative, accusative and ablative cases. For a full declension of "who," see: Nominative: Who Genitive: Whose Dative: to/for Whom Accusative: Whom Ablative: by/at/which/when(etc.) Whom Vocative: Who The nominative case is used to denote the subject of the sentence, while the genitive case shows ownership. The dative case indicates the indirect object (I.E, I gave the box to him. "I" is the subject, "Gave" is the verb, "The box" is the direct object and "him" is the indirect object) and the accusative case indicates the direct object (see above example). The ablative case is a bit more tricky, since it has so many uses, but it tends to indicate direction, location or agency (I.E,"I sent him off west," "He is at home," "He came by car"). However, I personally tend not to use "whom" simply because it doesn't roll off the tongue quite so easily as "who." It disrupts the rhythm of my speech and sounds awkward, though that's partly because it has fallen out of usage in general and my ear isn't tuned to the word. I fu*king AGREE!!!!!!!!! :mwahaha Except "Hasbro" is the equivalent of a collective noun. Example: "My family is awesome." "Family" is singular, even though it refers to multiple people, it is a singular unit. "Is" is appropriate. In contrast: "The families are at war with each other." Here we are referring to TWO units of multiple people, so "are" is appropriate. Considering that the name Hasbro is referring to a single unit of type "company," "is" is correct. You can also raise the point "Well, some companies only consist of a single person," which is fairly common. HA! And you said that you weren't a grammar NAZI!! *facepalm* Dude, there's no shame in knowing your native language through and through. I only complain at you from time to time because you don't put enough effort in your posts for them to be regularly coherent. YES, but- you said that you are not a grammar NAZI, and YOU ARE. So just keep it real, and I will work on making everything that I post more thought provoking for you !! NOT!!!!!!!!
