Grammatical Question

well...I'm one of those weird people who find grammar fascinating

another thing....what's with the 'whom' thing, when do I use that?

You might want to look up for a couple of examples of semicolons in use - I just realised I used some in that post up there.

As a rule, I use a semi colon when the following word begins with a small letter, (except proper nouns) I use a colon when the following word starts with a capital letter, as in a new sentence, or example.

And if that was clear, you must have already known the answer.

"Whom" is pretty archaic now, it's now acceptable to use "who" instead.
