Other people have already mentioned scientology, so I'll add this.

It probably annotates abbreviation of the full year 1985 1986 1987, etc, so people don't get confused and think Tom Cruise was 87 when he married Mimi Rogers.

I can't say if it's a good or bad annotation, but theres a possible explanation.

But don’t you put that on the left, to replace the “19” or “20”?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

yeah whomever made this just put them on the wrong side

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Just to be pedantic, you should use “whoever” there, not “whomever.”

To tell whether to use “who” or “whom,” replace it with “he” or “him” and follow the ‘m.’

“he made this” vs “him made this”

Omg thank you for this!!! I never understood when whom would ever be used!!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can I get an example for whomever please? My brain is slow today but like learning new grammar tips.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Sure!

“If I’m asked, I’ll give grammar tips to whomever.”

Whomever is tough, because often this would be constructed as “I’ll give grammar tips to whoever asks.” And you would use “who” there, because “whoever” is the subject of the clause “whoever asks.”

Generally speaking, it’s usually safe to pick “whoever” over “whomever.”

But if you drop the “-ever” it’s a lot easier. Anywhere you’d use “him” (that is, the objective pronoun), you use “whom.” To whom, for whom, by whom, etc.

Thanks. This is amazing and just what I needed to understand the differences. Appreciate you taking the time.

Idk why or who makes the conventions. It might be a required format, kind of like how you're supposed to start numbering pages in APA after the title page.

It's been said a woman's eyes don't fully open until she turns 33

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

You're thinking of kittens and puppies and it's usually like a couple of weeks.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

I went down a rabbit hole on this one. I think the age may be irrelevant, or only correlated with children. At least Kidman and Holmes left him over Scientology. They were trying to avoid having their kids indoctrinated. That worked for Holmes, backfired on Kidman. It might have worked for Holmes because it backfired on Kidman. https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/06/28/after-tom-cruise-once-denied-abandoning-suri-she-seems-to-get-the-last-word/

Does Leonardo get the same hate?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago

yes frequently

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Leonardo DiCaprio? I don't know much about him. If you mean the young girlfriend/partners, those are transactional relationships. He gets arm candy and they get access to high level producers and directors at parties. I feel like it's much more honest and safe that they aren't married to him.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Yes he does haha
