Is it who? Or whom? When do you write the numeral "7"?When do you spell out "seven"? You're not alone ifyou can't remember this stuff from high school. But face it:It's embarrassing to screw up grammar in businesscorrespondence and speaking. Nobody wants to make a blunder in apitch to a new client. So when you want a bit of fast assistance,log on to The Blue Book ofGrammar, a well-organized site that gives the information youneed (and skips the superfluous). For who and whom, for instance,the site advises using the "he/him" method: Whenyou'd say he, it's a who; for him, it's a whom. Prettysimple and very useful-and that's the guiding philosophyhere.
