Rules
and
Hints
for
Correct
Speaking.
1.
Who
and
whom
are
used
in
relation
to
persons,
and
which
in
relation
to
things.
But
it
was
once
common
to
say,
"the
man
which."
This
should
now
be
avoided.
It
is
now
usual
to
say,
"Our
Father
who
art
in
heaven,"
instead
of
"which
art
in
heaven."
2.
Whose
is,
however,
sometimes
applied
to
things
as
well
as
to
persons.
We
may
therefore
say,
"The
country
whose
inhabitants
are
free."
Grammarians
differ
in
opinion
upon
this
subject,
but
general
usage
justifies
the
rule.
3.
Thou
is
employed
in
solemn
discourse,
and
you
in
common
language.
Ye
(plural)
is
also
used
in
serious
addresses,
and
you
in
familiar
language.
4.
The
uses
of
the
word
It
are
various,
and
very
perplexing
to
the
uneducated.
It
is
not
only
used
to
imply
persons,
but
things,
and
even,
ideas,
and
therefore,
in
speaking
or
writing,
its
assistance
is
constantly
required.
The
perplexity
respecting
this
word
arises
from
the
fact
that
in
using
it
in
the
construction
of
a
long
sentence,
sufficient
care
is
not
taken
to
ensure
that
when
it
is
employed
it
really
points
out
or
refers
to
the
object
intended.
For
instance,
"It
was
raining
when
John
set
out
in
his
cart
to
go
to
the
market,
and
he
was
delayed
so
long
that
it
was
over
before
he
arrived."
Now
what
is
to
be
understood
by
this
sentence?
Was
the
rain
over?
or
the
market?
Either
or
both
might
be
inferred
from
the
construction
of
the
sentence,
which,
therefore,
should
be
written
thus:--"It
was
raining
when
John
set
out
in
his
cart
to
go
to
the
market,
and
he
was
delayed
so
long
that
the
market
was
over
before
he
arrived."
