How the hell do you even use "whom". It has never made any sense to me.

Who does something, while something is done to whom is a fairly easy way to remember in most cases.

Who vs. Whom. Whom should be used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition. When in doubt, try this simple trick: If you can replace the word with “he”' or “'she,” use who. If you can replace it with “him” or “her,” use whom.

No, it hasn't.

I like these kind of self-help books and find them quite entertaining. Even if you don't plan to start a business, I think this kind of book is more about giving yourself a cut-the-crap type of focus that can help you succeed in life, your present job, etc.. I like Jon Taffer's writing style and honestly prefer to deal with people who have this kind of additude in the workplace. I also like "Bar Rescue" so I wanted to read his book.

Having listened to my fair share of conservative talk radio I assure you it does.

Too bad you can't succeed at grammar.

I'm not even entirely trying to pile on like a douchebag but I honestly don't understand DWV's obsession with two periods. It's neither a period nor an ellipsis and yet he seems to use it as both.
