maqroll Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 The fact that Robert DeNiro has completely given up on being a decent actor. "Dirty Grandpa" is his new movie. Embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To that end, no one uses whom, and most people use learnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to bake a cake the other week (charity work thing) and the whole thing was in cups. So went online to translate that into grams and it's different for everything you're using. So you have to convert it all separately. It's the most primitive measuring unit I've ever seen. It may as well say "a bit of butter mixed with slightly more sugar. Then add quite a lot of milk and throw in as many eggs as you have in your cupboard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was happy to just choose a cup, and use that. And as long as I used the same cup for everything I'd be ok. But then I got to cups of butter and I was lost.

It was a playful comment directed at the OP, and I used the word "whom" for effect, a fact that at least three people who liked the comment could appreciate. Unless you think they are all "pompous clearings in the woods" as well. It seems you're the guy who has decided to put himself on a little pedestal. Innit?
