I’m a heavy emoji user, texting is such a poor medium for communication, many times people get the wrong message, but with an emoji you’ll get an idea of the face I’m making, so less chance of misunderstanding
I noticed that every time I add an emoji to a comment it gets downvoted, so I tested my theory, wrote a comment without an emoji, got upvotes, went back and added an emoji, got downvotes…
On Reddit people use emojis a lot, on Lemmy I NEVER saw anyone use emojis, my account is new but still for the time I spent here, I never saw the use of emojis
So, is it just me, have you noticed this small detail ? and do you miss emojis the way I do ? 😭
It’s whoever in this case.
Sorry, couldn’t resist after a rant like that. :)
By the way, the trick i used i learned from a reddit comment. Whether you use ‘who’ or ‘whom’ had to do with whether something is being done by them or to them. The use case went like this.
Someone steps on a worm.
‘Who stepped in the worm?’
‘You stepped on whom?’
Maybe they used worm cuz it is similar to whom. Anyway, hope it helps, it sure did me.
I always used “he/him” as a way to figure out if “whom” or “who” is correct. If “whom” is needed, it’s for “him”. If “who” is needed, “he” should be used.
“For him: For whom” “He did it: Who did it”
And the ‘m’ in “him” reminds me to use “whom”
“Who wants ice cream” shouldn’t be answered with “Him wants ice cream”, you would say “He wants ice cream”
“For whom is this for” : “It’s for him”, not “It’s for he”
That’s what got me to remember it forevermore
Ryan used me as an object.
A most interesting and enlightening reply. Completely unexpected. This will bear thought. Thank you.
