I like the way you managed to use the correct "whom" to sound posh then completely fucked it up with the "at" on the end :)

[-] FatTony@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

Yeah that's the perfect way to describe my English in general ^^.

[-] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

You mean "Yeah that's generally the way to describe my English in general" ๐Ÿ™ƒ

You can end a sentence on a prepositional phrase. That's an old style suggestion, not a rule.

[-] HandwovenConsensus@lemm.ee 19 points 9 months ago

But it's redundant in that sentence because it began with "at."

Who are you, a representative of the redundancy department of redundancy?

The Kelly cartoons are done by a progressive pretending to be a conservative. The Onion often gets hate letters from progressives who think it's genuinely conservative, and more glowing letters from conservatives who think the same.

Taking into account that this is the Onion, it's probably aimed at at everyone like the good ol' days.
