Here are my issues. When do you use:

Effect/affect

whose/whom/who

I also have problems with prepositions, but I can't think of an example right now.
Two sources that I use and suggest:

The Elements of Grammar by Margaret Shertzer

The Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr., and E.B. White


...now, where is my DVD?!?
