The rule of thumb is if you can replace the word with "HE", it should be "who", but if you can replace the word with "HIM", it should be "whom".<BR/>I agree with you: "Who friends say" is correct because you can say "Friends say he...".Calliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03387113235256571166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-31059505367606312522008-06-28T08:09:00.000+01:002008-06-28T08:09:00.000+01:00Thanks so much for the link!

I enjoyed all of it, but the bit that really hit home was in the final titles - "Home Industries . ."<BR/><BR/>The things that we do - cooking, knitting (and sewing) may be great pleasures, but they are also valuable and useful PRODUCTIVE WORK. The enjoyment is a bonus, and it is rather sad that some folk have to pay money to get inferior versions of what we can make for ourselves.jeanfromcornwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10062674591619616456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-10136692667016001162008-06-27T22:39:00.000+01:002008-06-27T22:39:00.000+01:00Ditto on the "motif of dinosaurs" idea.

On other grammar I disagree: the clause beginning with "who" is a separate unit, with "who" as the subject of the verb "continues" so "whom" would be incorrect in that position.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-5651694185830129202008-06-27T18:44:00.000+01:002008-06-27T18:44:00.000+01:00Great video, Jean.

Every Easter my family partakes of 'Fish Dish', which is essentially a smoked cod dish. It's very much afavourite in Australia during lent, and while it's not lent by any means, it makes a great dish for a cast of thousands. The closest to what my family prepares is here (http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/9275/smoked+fish+pie) only we just use the filling with rice - with 7+ mouths this is the easiest formation.<BR/><BR/>I'm enjoying the way the dinosaurs are coming together. If a singular motif is necessary, just list it as a collective noun of dinosaurs when you enter it. I think dinosaurs come in herds? Possibly splitting hairs but if the judges are going to be *that* persnickety they deserve the come back! Loved, loved, loved the highland games video. yay for the interwebs!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12124722668160658606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-36704975165947348132008-06-27T10:35:00.000+01:002008-06-27T10:35:00.000+01:00Jean,I am glad that I was reading your post at hom...Jean,<BR/>I am glad that I was reading your post at home so that I could click on the video. Never having visited a Highland Games, the short version was perfect, especially the pipes, I do have a soft spot for the bagpipes. The wee tot doing the highland dancing was a cutie too. It was nice to see Sam and yourself featured.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your family visit.<BR/>DawnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
