At whom is this aimed at?
I like the way you managed to use the correct "whom" to sound posh then completely fucked it up with the "at" on the end :)
Yeah that's the perfect way to describe my English in general ^^.
You mean "Yeah that's generally the way to describe my English in general" 🙃
You can end a sentence on a prepositional phrase. That's an old style suggestion, not a rule.
But it's redundant in that sentence because it began with "at."
Who are you, a representative of the redundancy department of redundancy?
Yeah he pays his membership fees in cash, gets it from the ATM machine
With a secure pin number
Stop it with all the redundant pleonasms!
They're filling up the screen on my LCD display!
Ah, true thAT.
The Kelly cartoons are done by a progressive pretending to be a conservative. The Onion often gets hate letters from progressives who think it's genuinely conservative, and more glowing letters from conservatives who think the same.
Taking into account that this is the Onion, it's probably aimed at at everyone like the good ol' days.
People who enjoy mocking political cartoons.
