	Avangi  +  719205 Thu, 07 May 09 01:00 AM I like number three.  I think "whose" works best for people and other living things. What is your answer to/of my question?  I think only "to" is idiomatic.

As far back as Jesperson (1933), 'whose' is recognized as the way to avoid the postponed 'of/to/in which', Avangi, and that is still the view in Leech & Svartvik (1994) .  A hill, whose peak was still buried in the fog (Stevenson). .

	Avangi  +  719417 Thu, 07 May 09 03:25 AM Thanks, MrM.  I don't know why I have an aversion to it.  Perhaps something in an earlier life.  I'll work on it.  (I would have replied sooner but I couldn't find your post.  It showed immediately on the list, but I couldn't seem to turn on the right server.)

	Avangi  +  719890 Thu, 07 May 09 10:37 AM CalifJim “ The jerk would mark it wrong any time anyone used whose that way.” I don't think it could have been I.   I never taught English. Whenever I sing, "Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight," I think of it as personification. It's probably okay, because the sentence doesn't have a subject anyway. But I did have an uncle who said I was rediculous. Avangi Sentences, Countries, United Kingdom, Great Britain, Languages
