Jenesis is making something out of nothing here. @bazookajoe was just treating @Amanda Labelle like one of the guys. His reply would have been the same, regardless of whom made the typo. At least she knew it was an important baseball game.
How about grammar mistakes?

It should be "who". LOL (Honestly, no malice intended. Just pointing out the irony of the thread in which it occurred.)
Guilty! Who complies with he, she or they. Whom complies with him, her, or them. There are some women who think whom refers to women, because that mistakenly associate it with 'womb'. Nit well picked.

I hope that I'm using the right terminology but I believe that WHO is the predicate and WHOM is the the object.

Who did what to whom?

You're a few years older than I am, shack. They had stopped using the word predicate in English class by the time I got that far in school.

Who did what to whom is grammatically correct. It's consistent with my rules of thumb Who complies with he, she or they. Whom complies with him, her, or them.

When I learned that, 'they' was always a non specific plural pronoun; now it can be an Alphabet person using the 'Royal We' personally.

I tune out anyone other than Queen E and her descendants, (other than Harry and Andrew), who uses the 'Royal We' instead of I. If you ask one of them to define the "We" to which they are referring, they'll never give you a straight answer, but they'll usually smile.

I don't think anyone got my joke in post #8. Update: roadhog did.

I still have one of these, but it's in pretty rough shape.

Thrown down onto a hard surface by an average adult, it can fly over a three-story building. Chunks of the ball tended to break off.
Haha I had one of those , it would bounce so high it was like magic I think that was over 50 yrs ago, I also had Clackers and the bruised forearms to go with them.

The CFL has better halftime shows than the NFL.
I think my pic is from a U.S. college game (USC?). True story. The daughter of a friend won a scholarship to an American university for cheer leading. They take their football seriously down there.

Their cheerleading too! There is a documentary/reality show on Netflix called Cheer. It's really good.

It has been a while since a rock group made the half time show. I don't know what guides their decision's process.
Rock music fans are one of the largest demographic groups that watch the Superbowl. As a group, they have a lot of disposable income. They're also collectively too old to have their purchasing decisions be influenced by advertising. A great Super Bowl ad will entertain them, but it will not get them to change the brand of beer they drink, the make of vehicle they drive or their mobile phone service provider. They are set in their ways.

All commercial television is aimed at the demographic age groups that will make decisions based on the sponsor's messages. Young people are the target market because when they get jobs and leave home, they no longer automatically buy the same brands of products that were chosen for them by their parents. This is why the Super Bowl half time shows usually feature live performances by the same recording artists that would appear on the Grammy Awards and the MTV Video Music Awards - what Nirvana referred to as "Radio Friendly Unit Shifters".
