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

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
