Any grammar bitches on ST today?

Posted by Qale (aka Qale) Mar 8 '09, 16:01

I wasn�t sure how much more I wanted to masquerade around as Devyn then. Erin had very nearly given me a blowjob thinking that I was him. She also certainly just proclaimed her love for him. I shook my head, sighed, and reached for my regular clothes that the seamstress Sandra had found and folded neatly.

The problem is the second sentence. Word wants me to change that "him" to "he." But doesn't yell at me for the third sentence when it looks to be the same problem with the "him".

I've never been good with those rules.

Responses:

Use "he" or "my brother." (In the third sentence, the "him" is the object of a prepostion.) -- nm - mara Mar 8, 16:15 1
- Thanks. I actually changed it to "my twin." -- nm - Qale Mar 8, 16:28
I agree with loosi. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 8, 16:13
He is technically correct, but it sounds stiff. I'd go with 'him', especially if it is meant to be conversational. -- nm - loosilu Mar 8, 16:04 1
- I could fix it completely by changing it to "my brother." -- nm - Qale Mar 8, 16:06
