USING WHO OF WHOM
if you can answer the question being asked with him, then use whom, and it's easy to remember because they both end with m. For example, if you're trying to ask, "Who (or whom) do you love?" The answer would be "I love him." Him ends with an m, so you know to use whom. But if you are trying to ask, "Who (or whom) stepped on Squiggly?" the answer would be "He stepped on Squiggly." There's no m, so you know to use who. So that's the quick and dirty trick: if you can't remember that you use whom when you are referring to the object of the sentence réplique montres, just remember that him equals whom.

JUDGING ADS FOR HORSES
Any mention of horse shows in an advertisement for a horse generally indicates that the horse is pleasing to look at. If training or manners are emphasized and looks are not mentioned, the horse is probably not particularly handsome. A poorly written ad that leaves out vital statistics will generally lead to a mediocre horse.
