Default Re: 2nd Unofficial FFR Tournament - SIGN-UPS NOW!!!

I was merely pointing out the high level of ambiguity in Phynx's post- a result of his technically proper yet awkward and entirely superfluous use of the word "whom".

Grammar isn't the singular facet of good writing. Concise and lucid phrasing is also important, as well as careful avoidance of archaic grammar constructs that will within the next decade likely fall completely out of the English language.

People get so uptight over grammar and oft a technically correct usage of a word or punctuation could ruin the intended mood or meaning of a sentence. I believe "butchering your English" would be another way to put it; ironically enough this defeats the purpose of worrying about grammar in the first place, no?

It could have been far more eloquently phrased as "Tomorrow I will begin division placement for those signed up".
