How do I use WHOSE?

How do I use WHOSE? This is tricky for me
How do I use WHOSE?

Which of the following example(s) is correct:

  1. 1. “Whose on the Titanic’s List of Passengers…” (without a question mark); or
  2. 2. “Whose who on the Titanic’s List of Passengers…” (also without a question mark); or
  3. 3. “Who’s who on the Titanic’s List of Passengers…” (also without a question mark).

These questions have been bugging me for quite a long time! Thanks.

Heart Rendering without cement?

Hi Teena,

Heart rendering without cement - which word should I use?Like the site, short and snappy, tells me what I want to know with just enough to tell me why it’s the right answer.

One I’ve come across a couple of times recently is the use of ‘heart-rendering’ instead of ‘heart-rending’ with the meaning of invoking deep emotion. Heart-rendering would surely be something done by a butcher!

Thanks again for a great quick reference, invaluable at work.

Do people make up words these days?

.

Jan, thanks for dropping by my site. Excellent question, by the way.

Yes, people do make up words and because most of us use the internet, we get to see all kinds of weird and wonderful word creations.

Some make me laugh.

Some make me cringe.

Some make me gasp in horror :-)

The best way to find out if a word you want to write is ‘real’ or not, is to check a dictionary.

Please also note that dictionaries differ in English-speaking countries, so a word which is acceptable in the US might not be acceptable in Australia or the UK.

If you have any examples, let me know and I’ll share them here.
