    I think that this should have been dative case, but I’m not a brachiopod.

    ‘Fumetto’ (comic [strip]) for ‘commedia’ (comedy) in ‘commedia dell’arte’. Cute.

    Dude looks like Sam Johnson, except that he’s smiling. Maybe it IS Sam Johnson, and he’s smiling because another doofus actually kicked the rock.

    English once had, like distant cousin German still has, separate accusative and dative cases, used to distinguish direct and indirect objects. But as English simplified from a heavily inflected language loaded with grammatical endings for gender and numerous cases (like Latin, German, or Russian), along the way the accusative forms disappeared and the dative became the modern objective case. (Compare “him” and “whom” with German dative “ihm” and “wem” while the English equivalents of accusative “ihn” and “wen” disappeared.)

    I just wish that the whole who/whom distinction would also have gone away. If someone asks “Who should I give this to?”, is there anyone who doesn’t know what it means?

    I am in favor of languages continuing to evolve toward greater simplicity, and I would love to see “whom” someday go the way of “thou art” or “he sayeth”.

    Isn’t english the United States speaks, sometimes considered “American” (not trying patrotric or something) because its changed considerably from “Queen” English?
