John:

Re: your post of 9/20/02 to William Bentley, where you said: "I certainly hope you misquoted me a bit, because the spelling and grammar in that sentence were deplorable. It should read: 'I couldn't recommend SC to anyone who's playing I cared about.' " Well, I agree that spelling and grammar are important, although they seem to mean very little in most of these forums. The sentence ACTUALLY should have read: "I couldn't recommend SC to anyone WHOSE playing I cared about." "Who's" is the contraction for "who is" (as in, "Who's Claude Gordon?"). "Whose" is the possessive pronoun, which is appropriate for your usage.

Yours for better grammar,
Al Pickard
