Than and then, who's and whose, too and to. I'd hate to have to learn English as a second language.

Who vs. whom. An easy way to get this right is if you can substitute 'him' or 'her', use the objective form of whom. If you can sub 'he' or 'she', use the subjective form of who...

I know. If we don't speak colloquially (incorrectly) we do seem pompous. Someone brought up the rule of not ending sentences in a preposition earlier in this thread, but if you don't you seem like a douche...

A young woman is sitting on a plane when an older woman sits next to her. Being polite the younger woman asks "where are you from?" the older woman looks at her and replies "I'm from a place where we don't end our sentences with a preposition". The younger woman thinks for a second and replies "where are you from bitch?"

Depending on the recipient, a letter addressing an unknown someone is appropriate.
I have made such correspondences and received positive results.
One place that "To whom it may concern" would be callus is in the beginning of a "Dear John" letter.

Insisting on new health care providers based on the use of a "non" word seems to be a bit extreme.
But I like that style. If I'm not pleased it is time for me to look elsewhere to effect a change.

Reprocessing response...
Back in the days of my youth, when grammar was just a uninteresting subject taught by an old lady with big hair, I remember being taught to write its' as a possessive pronoun. Apparently that use to be a thing, but is no longer considered even remotely correct. I still see it from time to time, and every single time I'm forced to ponder about it and rememeber that big haired lady that taught me wrong. That same lady forced me to give that red headed bitch Tony Blocker back her pretzels, AFTER I traded her my cheetos, she ate them, and then told the teacher I had stolen her snack. Inevitably any recollection of that lady triggers my emotional trauma regarding those pretzels, and I prefer not to be reminded. Thank you for forcing me to relive it.
