I am not a grammar or spelling policeman because it is supposed to be a police person these days thus not cutting out the females of this world. I also do not add an "o" to the end of a name as that would require me to add an extra letter. Secondly my name is not Sweepo. Much like your name is not prefecto. Unless of course you actually come from Australia in which case you can get an Ambo to take you back. whom pron the objective form of who: whom will you tell?, he was devoted to his wife, whom he married in 1960 [Old English hwām] USAGE: It was formerly considered correct to use whom whenever the objective form of who was required. This is no longer thought to be necessary and the objective form who is now commonly used, even in formal writing: there were several people there who he had met before. Who cannot be used directly after a preposition – the preposition is usually displaced, as in the man (who) he sold his car to. In formal writing whom is preferred in sentences like these: the man to whom he sold his car. There are some types of sentence in which who cannot be used: the refugees, many of whom were old and ill, were allowed across the border. Collins Essential English Dictionary (www.thefreedictionary.com) 2nd Edition 2006 © HarperCollins Publishers 2004, 2006 I managed to get 95% correct in English when I was at school. Sorry for using the old english. Surely I do not use words like the original meaning of "gay" anymore either for example. If I mean homosexual or lesbian then that is what I write. Sorry to have bothered you on this. Wait, are you trying to argue that the information you posted implies that the following sentence is grammatically correct? Any person whom thinks they have a legitimate claim can take it to Court if they want to. It doesn't, and it isn't. The example given even says that who is more acceptable. Edit: Just to make it easier for you, as you obviously think you know more than you do, if you're unsure whether to use whom or who, try replacing it with him or he. If him works better, use whom; if he works better, use who. "Him thinks they have a legitimate claim" - Sounds retarded. "He thinks they have a legitimate claim" - Doesn't sound retarded, therefore who is correct in this context. I hope I've helped you become a better person. Edit 2: Whilst we're bragging about our English skills, I failed English in 6th form and had to resit in 7th for to get UE. I don't give a **** what you got in English at school, you're still doing it wrong. Oh, and your arse got handed to you by Deano in that debating thread.	roddy_boy (4115)

However I believe they are free, which may be a consideration.... But from memory, a solicitor doesn't charge a lot for a bog-standard will anyway. The tricky bit is choosing your executor so you can be sure that he/she will still be around in the unfortunate event that you're not... Using the Public Trust is only "free" at the time you sign it but they extract their fee of 10% after your death which can be quite a bit if your estate is large. Correct me if the 10% figure is incorrect but that is what I have been told. Some solicitors do wills for free, with no costs added later (like the Public Trust), or if there is a charge it will not be much. I have not read this entire thread so maybe it has been mentioned already but you can do your own will by following guidelines on the internet or elsewhere BUT you MUST get at least three people to sign your will AT THE SAME TIME - I have been told that unless you do this, the will is invalid.

So, just out of interest, how highly do you rate your own contributions to this forum, Prefect? I personally rate your contributions as 100 out of 10 - I seriously think they should grease your arse so you can slip into the next world as you're too good for this one. Your posts show stunning insight into the human condition - they evidence a strong and honest character, full of compassion for other human beings, an acute and piercing intellect and an extraordinary grasp of the English language. Your grasp of politics continues to amaze me - never before have I seen the obvious dichotomy that you continually point out in your posts on political matters - everything you agree with is correct; and everything you don't agree with is communist. Until coming across your gripping conclusions about politics I had thought that there were complex issues at stake - but you have proved through your articulate essays that there are no fine distinctions to be drawn at all. After being educated by your opinions and analysis I have come to wish that I had not spent so much time and energy informing my own pathetic opinions with research and fact. I think we all owe you a debt of gratitude for your contribution to the discussions on PressF1.	Deane F (8204)

751734	2009-03-02 11:01:00	Uh, I was, um, proving that putting an m on the end of a word changes the meaning of that word? :p So prove to me what you use for punctuation. Looking at that I did. In my opinion a noun is different to a preposition, verb, adverb. It now appears that IMHO you made a statement followed by a question mark. And then we have to interpret your post. The meaning of the word "um" would nomally mean a hesitation while you are thinking. Much like Talkback on various Radio Stations or TV for that matter. But in my opinion you try to think before you post. I have been guilty of editing posts in the past.	Sweep (90)

Most people do not need a professional trustee = Public Trust, Guardian Trust etc. Nothing wrong with them but if you have family members/friends whom you trust, they are more likely to look out for your little girl than an organisation. You could think about a family trust but it sounds like its early in life for you so its an unnecessary complication at this stage.	Winston001 (3612)
