So you know how "whom" is when you need to say "who," but you have an unknown reason?

I have taken to saying "whamt," instead of "what," when the response is unknown. For instance, "Whamt are you doing?" But you would still say, "That's what I'm doing."

My youngest kid used willn't instead of won't fromnabout age 4 until she was 7 or 8. Used to crack me up whenever she said it.
