I'm not an English native speaker. Their/they're/their also stings my eyes when incorrectly used, but I must admit that I often do the lose/loose mistake. But that's fair, whoever uses a grammar that is loose, lose.


whomever. loses.

:)


Are you sure "whomever"? Isn't that the objective form and, in this case, "whoever" is the subject?


I'll go with "whoever" too. "He uses grammar", not "him uses".


On reflection, I'll buy that as well.


I spent 10 minutes on grammar links before picking one...

Originally I wanted to write something along the line "whoever's grammar is loose lose" but I am almost sure this is not a correct form
