Thank you for agreeing with me. However, agreeing isn't necessary at all. Diversity makes life interesting! As for your sentences, I have already explained my opinion about structures like these, but if people disagree with me, that's just fine. I don't mind in the least. In the...

Sorry. You think wrong. You can always use who instead of whom when you leave the preposition 'stranded' at the end. Use whom for very formal contexts. It would be quite idiomatic to leave out the relative pronoun completely, thus avoiding the use of whom : I don't like the boy...

Hi, I can see James in the mountain with this telescope. Can far be used to modify a noun? Yes. If yes, what's the difference between far and distant in this context? 'Far' is less common, more literary/poetic. The normal preposition is ' on a mountain' rather...
