Palindromes


I love these words.  What are they, you ask?  In a nutshell, they are words that are spelled the same backwards or forwards.  Some that come to my mind right away are:

racecar, kayak, and level

Do you know any palindromes?  Feel free to post them here and let’s see how many we can come up with.

Confused by who and whom?


Try remembering this little rule:

he = who

him = whom

If you aren’t sure which to use, insert he/him in the sentence.  For example:

“Who/Whom should I call?”

Would the answer be:

“I will call he.”  or  “I will call him?”  It would be the latter so the correct question would be “Whom do I call?”

“Who/Whom called you last night?”

Would the answer be: 

“He called you last night.” or “Him called you last night?”  Of course it is the first one, so the correct sentence would be “Who called you last night?”

I find this works every time.  I hope it helps you, too.
