Is it...

[Viney]

...Triple or Treble when referring to 3 of something?

[Paul the 6th]

is it triple when referring to a collective i.e. triple cylinder....

and then treble when referring to an effect i.e. the volume is trebled...

but then volume can be tripled - doesn't sound lexically correct?

is it too early to throw 'trio' into the mix?

triple if its accountable
treble if its acumulative

or something like that.

[Paul the 6th]

just us 3 on the org at the mo then?

like a menage a ****.

[Viney]

So would it be Triple 4 or Treble 4 if referring to a phone number?

Triple 4 to be grammatically correct.

[Paul the 6th]

no it would be

"oh seven wun four four four six three too ate nein"







if you were scottish. Otherwise triple 4 is fine.

Somebody describe the difference between "who" and "whom" as simply as possible

[Paul the 6th]

well who is indefinite but whom is trying to apply it to someone without knowing who it is I guess?

To who? sounds like a question
To whom sounds like it's addressed to somebody but none of us are quite sure whom it should be addressed to...

if you can re-arrange the sentence and put a subject pronoun (I or he) instead of who/whom you should use 'who'. If you can put an object pronoun (me, him) instead of who/whom, you should use 'whom'.
