Man. I had four strips of bacon yesterday. Was one automatically undercooked, one automatically overcooked? No, let's put a stop to that right here, all four strips were excellent.

I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket. One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.
so what color furniture is the most appealing? Also, chairs, with cushions or without?
All the colors! Chairs with cusions. Otherwise you'll get a sore butt if you sit down too long.
Agreed. Cushions are required for Dominion.

He has it in play, therefore it's whoever.
Any grammar experts willing to step in and clarify this?

"Whom" and "whomever" are dying words, normally not used by English speakers except in very particular contexts. Don't cling to 'em, that's my advice; let 'em go. Consider how easy you find it not to use "ye."

if you want to specify a thing that is from another thing, but that thing is not a person, can you still use "whose"? f.e, is "a lake whose water..." correct? sounds wrong.
Witherweaver is a smart person.
Well you *do* need a signature...

You could also try "with", or go full awkward and say "a lake that contains water (that/which/whatever ....)"

"e.g." is the standard in English AFAIK (short for Latin Exempli Gratia)

"Ye" is just an orthographical variant of "the". English used to use the letter "thorn" to denote the "th" sound. "y" looks a bit like an incomplete thorn and was used until eventually "th" won out leaving us with the.

Bomb, Cannon, and many of the Gunpowder cards can strongly effect gameplay, particularly in a destructive way
I thought he was referring to that with "being slow played", too, until the second post.
