Just a little education for those of you who may be a little confused, whether or not you are aware of it. Who's: A contraction of 'who is' Ex. Who's a grammar nazi? Whose: A possessive form of whom. Ex: Whose fault was it I became a grammar nazi? A sentence using both: Who's sure whose briefcase it is? It's similar to their vs. they're, and its vs. it's respectively. Knowledge is power.
Yer a good man, Tony! (notice how I avoided using "you're") Now get on them about how "Were loosing our patients with bad english." or The breaks on my truck are shot.
Who's sure that this Indiana Hoosiers basketball program is really his? It's not his? Then it's whose-yours? Who's sure=Hoosier Hoosiers=Who's sure (nearly) and finally, whose-yours is a play on Hoosiers. For the simpletons out there .

He's like a fucking sponge. But he is AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL at spelling, punctuation, and grammar in general. It's nearly impossible to follow what he's saying. I'm talking 2nd grader level.
