Sorry Paul - can't resist...
Whom - objective case,
Who - subjective case;
So shouldn't it be ' those who are trying to'?

Like John I see plenty of spelling mistakes and plenty of grammar mistakes. The ones of particular interest are There, Their and They're. ie over there, it is their home and They're (they are) the people I am talking about.
Also Were, Where and We're. ie We were going home. Where is your home? And; we're (we are) not all perfect.
One that I am commonly lazy about is Your and You're. Your telescope is nice. You're (you are) not listening to me. I also make mistakes with typos with you and your. I often forget to put the r on the end of a your when I am saying your.
Best of luck with trying to correct the correctors of grammar. They hate bad grammar as much as you hate people picking on others for bad grammar.  |
