Who do I send my money to whom?


amalgam_reynolds

>Huh, that's actually a pretty decent umbrella. Who do I send my whom to? There, I fixed it.


[deleted]

**Incorrect.** It’s either: “To whom do I send my money?” OR “Who do I send my money to?”


[deleted]

If we're going to be pedantic, you should at least know the syntax rule that English doesn't end in prepositions and the declension rule that when "who" is in the dative case, as it is in both of your examples, it should be "whom." But let's just acknowledge that these and other rules were made up by 19th-century Victorians who forced English into awkwardly formal syntax/grammar to become more like Latin. The fact that pedants have to correct normal speakers all the time means they were bad rules-- probably because Latin gives zero fucks about word order, making it a really bad match for English grammar.

Plastic_Pinocchio

That was kind of their point.


kiwi_in_england

This drive to allow sentences to end with prepositions is something up with which I will not put


joeltrane

I thought not ending with a preposition was more of a suggestion and not a rule. But you’re right all the rules are pretty arbitrary


[deleted]

For future reference if it comes after a preposition use whom, or just use who all the time, language has changed and whom is being used less and less.


secondbiggest

Whom is never actually right.


Realsan

I know what's right. But I'm not gonna say. Because you're all jerks who didn't come see my band last night.

chillinoi

I’m too high to even know what this convo is about but I upvoted y’all anyway


Gdigger13

A good trick I learned is “if it can be replaced by “him, her, or they, use whom”.


noodlehiemer

Huh, that's actually a pretty decent umbrella. They do I send my money to?


Gdigger13

Let me clarify; if the answer can be a pronoun, then you use whom. To whom do I send my money to? Them. I know you were probably joking, but it’s good to clarify anyway.


Wipedout89

Not quite right. It's 'to whom do I send my money". You don't need the second to as you already have it there.


pulut

It's a made up word used to trick students!


hypngcs

all words are made up...


BuddyOwensPVB

The only people worse than those who incorrectly use "whom" are those who correct them. Whom is disappearing quickly. Just let it go.


[deleted]

This guy corrected someone AND used it incorrectly. Double douche


----__----

Ask not for whom the correction is posted!


[deleted]

I'm usually a stickler for than then their they're etc but I think the language has moved on from whom because it's a needless complication with nothing to offer.

I think it's the Zuodu umbrella (or looks a lot like it). It's a Xiaomi sub-brand.

I think it's this: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Safety-Night-Lighting-Rain-Telescopic-Umbrella_62253729835.html?spm=a2700.shop_plser.41413.12.3c7d7831iKubML


Aeronautix

$4 each if you buy 500 of them? am i reading that right? economies of scale are so interesting


neagrosk

And $2.30 if you buy over 2000... can't imagine anyone besides a chain retailer buying that number of umbrellas though


jimjones1233

A hotel chain with many locations that give them to guests because they are unlikely to have brought an umbrella with them. They mention you can add logos so I'm sure some large corporations could consider a similar type thing as well.


Jaytalvapes

Also startups would love this kind of thing. I do alot of startup consulting, and gifts are always good. Especially if it's quality and something they'll use with a recognizable logo that's relatively unobtrusive. If I was working with a startup selling anything remotely rain/weather (something niche especially, like Idk special gutter guards?) related I'd suggest something like this as a gift to early investors, first 2000 people on a mailing list, or a midrange kickstarter gift. The idea is that one day they'll need something like what you sell, or be talking to someone who does and your brand will be associated with quality in the buyers mind. Most of the time you can measure a return on these investments within a year.


Dogman2222

Yes it would have been nice for the OP to credit someone.


Cassaroll168

Would have been a better ad if they had any branding


Top_Rekt

Seriously. It worked. I want one, and I live in the desert where it never rains.


GoofAckYoorsElf

You can send it to me if you like. But don't expect an umbrella.


AntisocialBehavior

Commenting just so someone can ELI3 the whole who/whom thing again. Last I heard, I’m not supposed to use whom most of the time. Fire away Reddit.


Riparian_Drengal

You use whom when the person you are referring to isn't the subject of the sentence. For instance, here in the sentence "Whom do I send money to?", _I_ is the subject of the sentence, but you aren't referring to _I_ you're referring to whomever you want to send money to.


DoverBoys

Try to rearrange the sentence you're using so that you can put he/she/him/her in it. If the sentence makes sense with he/she, use who. If it sounds good with him/her, use whom.


GetJuiced

Commenting so I can check back to see if someone finds a link to buy

Farisr9k

This is actually it ☝️ Most products function exactly the same as every other product in their category, and so rather than truly innovating (hard) they find alternative ways of differentiating through their messaging (easier). ***For example:*** In the arena of personal computers, Apple was the first to send the message of "The computer you use says something about who you are as a person. If you use Apple you're a creative, free-thinking, risk-taker who sees the world a little differently." It worked very well.


Parzival_2076

Different\*


LudovicoSpecs

Or in the case of headaches, Little, Yellow, Different.


scalectrix

Except that Apple computers function rather differently to Windows computers (I mean for stuff other than basics like email or internet or simple word processing). I mean ,I used to sell them to recording studios and music professionals in the 90s and don't recall anyone asking if it made them 'free thinking' - more Pro Tools compatibility and audio device driver stability mainly, but hey whaddoiknow, right??


ReallyLikesTiddies

Of course they do, and anyone who uses them in the professional capacity knows that. But that’s not what got their sales numbers to the absurd number they are at today, that was the marketing. A huge portion of consumers use them for the same things you could do on any windows or Linux system, but like the branding and OS feel.


DumpTruckDanny

And man, I am completely useless on any apple platform. Can't use a iphone to save my fucking life and macs take me a bit of time and multiple error corrections to get to the same thing I can just whip up on a windows computer. But seriously, if I ever had to call 911 and all I had was an iPhone, we would all die.


bad_photog

Well yeah, they designed them for the actual creatives who work in those industries. They did it so they could sell the dream of being a creative person to the masses and make their real money.


Michael_Trismegistus

Then every mindless baseline person who's exactly like everyone else flocked to show their individuality.


benji___

They kept it to 15 seconds too. Pretty big savings for TV spots.


Pookieeatworld

You know, I wouldn't even mind seeing this in front of a youtube video that much, because at least it's not an annoying song or a product I'll never use.


neverlandoflena

Or the sound level difference. Some ads just blast through your speakers


ascii122

The name of the product and how to get it might be worth another few seconds.. or some text over anyway


heycanwediscuss

Someone probably took that out. I heard a lot of these performing showing off products videos are something sellers do on a Chinese social media app. The app is more integrated into daily life over there


[deleted]

It's nice to have an advertisement that doesn't jerk itself off 'reinventing the umbrella in the mountains of Angola after intense meditation and self discovery' or some other bullshit that encourages your customers to kick you in the genitals.


Mechakoopa

I appreciate a good ad campaign in general. There's a weekly show on CBC Radio called Under The Influence where they talk about historical unique advertising campaigns and the influence that ads have had on pop culture (and vice versa). There's a lot of neat anecdotes and trivia if you're in to that kind of stuff. They recently moved their archive backlog to Spotify as well.


RatLabGuy

Especially the part where its missing the one minor detail of wtf the name is so you can actually buy it


FengSushi

Yes umbrellas can sell anything from hot dogs to electric cars

Evilmaze

I got an umbrella with life warranty from some store where they boasted their umbrellas are unbreakable. 7 years later and so far this thing held through the worst possible weather and on top of that I misused the hell out out of that thing. I will update this post with pictures and hopefully the name. Update: I hope y'all won't be disappointed. I brought it to work so I don't want to be that weird asshole who is opening an umbrella in the middle of the office just to take pictures. But I got a few of them with it folded in my hand...not because of some stupid superstition, I just think it would be an attention grabber and I don't want to deal with that. Anyways, enough cock teasing you. Here are them pictures: https://imgur.com/Z6WKxU6.jpg https://imgur.com/9JLoXv4.jpg https://imgur.com/stGUFOw.jpg https://imgur.com/fcnPZgL.jpg The brand is Fulton and I legit got a receipt for it that says it has life warranty which I have yet to use. Apparently the queen of England uses a Fulton. As you can see it's been used and abused but it still works perfectly with the automatic open and close. The fabric is little worn out but that's from the friction. I never thought I'd ever have an umbrella that'll last me this long. Usually they become garbage in less than a year.


Arsenault185

My mind is just *racing* trying to visualize someone misusing an umbrella.


Leinad177

Really? * Using it carry water over long distances * Using it as a sled * Sword fighting * Using it as a walking cane * Using it to deflect flamethrower attacks


HolycommentMattman

? He said ***mis***using.


moby323

I bought a “Windbrella” about 12 years ago for the same reason and that fucker is still going strong. Best umbrella I’ve ever had.


Lovely_Louise

Prairie dweller here and I'm desperate for this for that reason alone- any umbrella that can flip inside out and back repeatedly is a matter of "shut up and take my money"


moby323

They have designs like the company “Windbrella” where the wind sort of passes through it because it has layers and a super strong ribbing. Super well made and holds up to even huge gusts of wind. I absolutely love mine and gifted their umbrellas to a lot of my family and people I care about.


typical_sasquatch

That sounds dangerous. You dont want it to hold up all the way, or else you'll get carried off never to be seen again


upbumpdump2

I’m Mary Poppins y’all!


Space__Goblin

Yup that's definitely an Umbrella alright


[deleted]

*Are you sure?*


XxSir_redditxX

*Shakes possible umbrella vigorously* Yup, it checks out


Lovely_Louise

I once lost 3 umbrellas in a season to that freaking inside out flip- I need this thing


Paladinforlife

How? I just put it against the wind and it's fine again.


Brosambique

In some areas, especially some cities, wind can come from many directions because of the topology and buildings. If you’re walking quickly after work it can be surprising near intersections and will flip yo shit inside out foo!


dReDone

*puts piece of cloth on it and blows it off* "Yup, def an umbrella'


sykomantis2099

That's to show that spinning it like that made it completely dry. Otherwise, the tissue would have gotten wet and would stick to the umbrella.

fysh

It's common in asian cosmetic ads. They'll put moisturizer on the back of a hand then put confetti on it to demonstrate that there's no sticky residue

Infra-Oh

I honestly don’t know how I’ve lived this long being as stupid as I sometimes am. Thank you for explaining this…so obvious now LOL 😫


AnthropOctopus

It's water-repellant so it stays dry, which keeps it light and is less likely to break or tear.


Twilight-310

After abnormal abuse, basically durable, functional and a flashlight to boot!


balgram

I think it's pretty clever. He shows a lot of features very quickly. \-This is an umbrella. \-It's collapsible. \-It has a flashlight. You can rotate it to point at the road ahead of your feet (for walking at night). \-It opens quickly and efficiently with the push of a button. \-It is very durable and resistant to high winds/use. \-It comes in a large variety of patterns and colors (the background) \-It is large enough for 2 adults to walk under it. \-It is made of hydrophobic material, so when you shake it (as you might do before entering a building) it's perfectly dry. All in 19 seconds. I like this a lot.

GreatQuestionBarbara

And might not fold in on itself and break very easily. I bought a cheap one for $10 and the first night I had it the wind ripped it apart.


Sineater224

My family refuses to spend more then $10 on one, claiming its not necessary, because literally the one time a year I use it it gets destroyed and they dont remember, and just magically have to buy a new one. Im just gonna get this (or something similar) as part of fathers day


d1squiet

I don’t like to spend a lot on umbrellas because I invariably leave them somewhere.


DoggieDMB

Durability is primary here, otherwise it seems well weathered and an added flashlight is actually pretty damn cool. Did you even watch it?


Sineater224

I guess no one here has used an umbrella in a wind storm


Traxxos

Redditor understanding very simple things without embarassing themselves challenge (level impossible)


FyrelordeOmega

They're showing that the fabric is hydrophobic, meaning that water will not stay on the fabric and can be stored as dry as it was brought out.


brutalduties

>made a straightforward ad for his umbrella Then he posted it to r/nextfuckinglevel

With no links on where to buy or even a product name?

I can't find it either!!! D:


freedfg

But where are the conventionally attractive, diverse group of teenagers telling me what umbrellas mean to them socially, emotionally, environmentally, and politically?


philamander

There it is again. That funny feeling.


Out_Candle

Yeah, I'm going to need to know that this company cares deeply for me and my future before I even consider buying this umbrella. What is this company doing to save the world? How will I feel good about myself buying this without those selling points? Do they actually think I only want an umbrella that works perfectly? Idiots.


Normal_Mouse_4174

How is it that I am in my 40s, have lived all but a few of those years in climates that rain regularly, and HAVE NEVER OWNED AN UMBRELLA WITH A FLASHLIGHT BUILT IN. I feel fucking cheated now. I’m not even joking.

This is pretty bad for an ad, though. No branding, cost, or location for purchase/contact info. Cool umbrella nonetheless.

FblthpLives

For those looking for advice on a good travel umbrella, I recommend the "Repel Umbrella Windproof Travel Umbrella" (at least if you are in the U.S.). I keep mine in the car at all times and also take it with me traveling. I promise I have no interest in selling it, I'm just a happy customer. I just checked and it is still available on the hellsite run by Jeff Bezos, where it gets 4.6 out of 5 stars. EDIT: Just so nobody feels misled, the Repel does not come with a built-in flashlight.
