Do you know the traditional rules for how to use “whoever” / “whomever” in situations where the word is the subject of an object clause, e.g.

“I will give this sack of doubloons to who(m)ever quacks most convincingly like a duck.”

• Yes: I can articulate the rule clearly and apply with confidence
• Maybe: I’m pretty sure, but I don’t really know or don’t really care
• No: I don’t know the rule
• The situation you describe is unpossible.
• Other

You witness a car backing into another parked car in a parking garage. You have no idea how much damage was done. The driver gets out and looks, then starts back to his car; you have no idea what he’s going to do. Which of these comes closest to your reaction?

• Get the driver’s attention so he knows there was a witness and leaves a note (you are not at physical risk)
• Note the license plate and wait. If the driver leaves, leave a note for the car with that info
• The above, but first also see how much damage was done before you leave the note
• Nothing

Random musings from reading the “custom license plates” thread.

The license plate on the vehicle I drive most often is:

• A standard series plate
• A custom / personalized plate
• I don’t have a vehicle / my vehicle doesn’t have license plates
• Other?

And that plate’s design is:

• My state’s standard design
• A specialty plate of some sort
• A disabled plate
• I still don’t have a vehicle or it doesn’t have plates
• Other non-standard plate (farm, commercial, government, etc)

• I have a license plate frame on my vehicle
• I have bumper stickers, window decals, or similar decorations
• I have some other emblem I added, like a Jesus fish or one of the parody versions
• I have some other decorations that don’t fit into any of the above categories
• I have none of the above
• I still don’t have a vehicle
