“I can help whomever/whoever is next.”
“I can help the next person in line.”
“I am ready to assist the next customer”
Please stop saying “I can help who’s next.”
Please.

English is both a Germanic and a Latin language.
For any idea you take, you have two words:
For example, if I say “regal” that is not exactly the same thing as saying kingly.
Or if I say “fraternal”, it is not the same as saying “brotherly”,
explains Jorge Luis Borges.
English is full of “lexical gaps,” words that are implied to exist but don’t, because we borrowed a bunch of words from Latin but not other, related words. Somebody made a chart to show it↓
I was listening to @Timcast last week, and the phrase “the royal we” was being batted about in reference to politicians saying “we” to refer to an unknown group of people.
“The royal we” is when a a person uses we in reference to themselves - i.e. “We are not amused.”
People can be convinced that there is a God, or a such thing as love at first sight.
People are not convinced to buy the newest iPhone or vote for a particular candidate - they are persuaded.
People are “persuaded” to do things, and they are “convinced” to believe things.
