Always use who.. if you use whom you are pompous... if you honestly say "to whom does this belong" then you are a fruitbag.

Yell "whos be this?" " who??"... perhaps even "someone get this crap outta here, cuz it sure aint mine"

I see....so to the kiddies these days it is pompous to be educated and not afraid to show it. I feel sorry for the future.

 

[TallBill]

You use 'who' as the subject of a verb, or on the other side of the equals verb 'to be' Who wrote this book or Who is he, or He is who?

You use Whom when Whom is the direct orindirect object or a predicate of a preposition. You hit whom? Give the book to whom, for whom the bell tolls, etc.

And don't forget, when somebody says, Who is it?, you answer, It is I, not it's me.

Do you really you I and not me for that response? I'd always used me.

REPOST

There is a search engine here. The word 'whom' pulls up two previous threads (including the one you mentioned you wrote earlier) about grammar of who/whom.

actually 'whomever' should be nominative. therefore, you would use 'whoever' in this case:

Whoever shot my nigg@ yesterday is gonna geta a cap in der ass!

Herein lies the answer

yes, Moonbeam is right. in those cases, the first person pronoun is used as the predicate nominative, not a direct object. therefore you would use the nominative case, which is 'I'.

Typically no, I usually say something like, Open the God damned door you son of a bitch.

I know the question wasn't directed towards me, but yes. I typically use it about 4-5 times a day (at the very least)...

 

[CTho9305]

I use whom whenever the answer could be "him" or "her" instead of "he" or "she", because I speak English and not Stoopid.

If you are trying to choose between "I" and "me" when there are multiple people (e.g. TheOmegaCode and ___ understand grammar), just drop the other people (___ understand grammar) and fill in the one that makes sense. I understand grammar.

Heh, I love how you included me in your example... You also touch on a very interesting, yet topical, point. I was just looking through a "prom picture" thread (which will remain nameless) and there were an awful lot of "so-and-so and I" captions. I don't know why, but that always gets under my skin...

who vs whom?


I didn't even know they were fighting. Is it a pay per view event? What are the odds right now?

probably be a good fight, they are fairly evenly matched, we'll see if whom tries to use his Weight advantage....

 

[Apathetic]

You use WHO as the subject and WHOM as an object.
