Pronouns are the last bastion of inflection in English, and it’s fun to see English-speakers being perpetually confused about them. Namely about ‘I’/‘me’ and ‘who’/‘whom’. Since the word order and particles already handle the meaning of sentences, people don’t quite know why they need to modify the pronouns too. And don’t have the vocabulary for the rules, as grammatical cases are long forgotten.

Plurals and the few gendered nouns we have left (actor/actress), also count as declension
Well, the plurals are simple, just slap an apostrophe and ‘s’ in there.
