Who and Whom


Who is a subject. Whom is an object. This sentence should be written, Who rescued whom? Whom is working as a direct object in this sentence. #whowhom #nomadsnonsense #hallmark #subjectobject #grammarfail

Bison


Thank you to Allison for this Wal-Mart error. No apostrophe needed for the plural form. If I recall correctly, the university does use "bisons" for the plural. The apostrophe is definitely wrong in this context. #Nomadsnonsense #Harding #hardinguniversity #bison #bisons #apostrophe #walmart 

Exhibit A shows why you shouldn't rely upon translation software. #Nomadsnonsense #translationerror

A former student emailed this screenshot from Pokemon Go to show me an error. Of course, there's no such word as deers. #nomadsnonsense #spellingfail  #pokemongo

Bombs Kill

Bombs KILL. Baghdad is part of the prepositional phrase "in Baghdad." The subject of a verb will never be in a prepositional phrase. #nomadsnonsense #subjectverbagreement #worldnewstonight @abcnews 

Storen


Stolen or "storen," Jade isn't responsible. This one was submitted by Ginger. She found it in Dallas. #nomadsnonsense #spellingfail #spellingerror
