Is it who or whom?

without comments

I’m upset that I missed National Grammar Day (isn’t every day Grammar Day?), but I still want to talk about Grammar Girl’s post on Top Ten Grammar Myths. My first reaction is that endorsing the split infinitive and ending sentences in prepositions is a travesty, but her arguments are too good. With the advent of user-generated content, isn’t it time print journalism just started talking the same way our readers do?

No matter what the AP Stylebook says, there are people out there who think “whom” is a made up word. Like Creed on The Office (after an ad, gotta pay the bills).
