Grammar, Punctuation, Capitalization, etc.

Websites —Web addresses should omit the https://www. Who vs. Whom — Who is used to refer to the subject of a clause. Ex: Bob, who loves the color blue, wore a red shirt today. Whom refers to the object of a clause. Ex: A number of children went to the zoo, one of whom was the birthday girl. A way to remember which pronoun to use is to reword the clause and use the word he/she or him/her . If it works with he/she , then you use who ; if it works with him/her , then you use whom . So, for the first example, it becomes "He (Bob) loves the color blue," so we use who . For the second example, it becomes “I am speaking with her/him,” so we use whom .
