Comment on Wow, ok.
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 months agoIt probably annotates abbreviation of the full year 1985 1986 1987, etc, so people don’t get confused and think Tom Cruise was 87 when he married Mimi Rogers.
I can’t say if it’s a good or bad annotation, but theres a possible explanation.

But don’t you put that on the left, to replace the “19” or “20”?

Just to be pedantic, you should use “whoever” there, not “whomever.”
To tell whether to use “who” or “whom,” replace it with “he” or “him” and follow the ‘m.’
“he made this” vs “him made this”

Can I get an example for whomever please? My brain is slow today but like learning new grammar tips.

Idk why or who makes the conventions. It might be a required format, kind of like how you’re supposed to start numbering pages in ACA after the title page.
