“Who wants ice-cream?” — Should I say “(not) I” or “(not) me”? You'll almost never hear "whom did" (although I agree it's correct) from even very rigorous speakers, because the "m" running into the "d" makes it so much harder to pronounce than "who did". Those desperate to use "whom", I think are more likely to say "Eve kissed whom?" |

What is the correct pronunciation of “pizza”? Is it really so hard to find a video of someone using the word 'pizza'? |

“Rounded”, “heaping” and other types of teaspoon(fuls)? "Heaping"? Heaped, surely? |

What should be filled in “Honoring”, “Given by” and “R.S.V.P” On this form, the "RSVP" field is for the address to which invitees should send their response. |

What is the difference between dialogue and dialog? @Robusto What do I "contend to be true" which I claim to prove with the ngram? The ngram demonstrates that "dialogue with" is common in American English -- which surprised me because I had believed that "dialog" was the American spelling in all cases. |
