I saw evidence in the newspaper the other day that communication with the dead is, indeed, possible. An engagement announcement began, "Mrs. Sarah Jones and the late Mr. Sam Jones proudly announce the engagement . . ."
I wonder how they received the communication? Seance? Ouija board? Tarot cards? This particular announcement was from a family who is rather upper crust in our city. It's especially funny to me when they make such a faux pas. Reminds me of the correction I saw in The Dallas Morning News some time ago: "Mrs. John Q. Moneybags is a socialite, not a socialist as was reported in yesterday's news."
Notes to the editor and publisher of my hometown paper: The lady's name is Mary Faber, not Mary Favre. And "who's" is a contraction for "who is." It is not a possessive as in "According to Attorney General Greg Abbott, who's office . . ." For that one, you need "whose."
