    It probably annotates abbreviation of the full year 1985 1986 1987, etc, so people don’t get confused and think Tom Cruise was 87 when he married Mimi Rogers.

    I can’t say if it’s a good or bad annotation, but theres a possible explanation.

          Just to be pedantic, you should use “whoever” there, not “whomever.”

          To tell whether to use “who” or “whom,” replace it with “he” or “him” and follow the ‘m.’

          “he made this” vs “him made this”
