minus-squareanon6789OPlink5•10 months agoYes indeed, but I don’t know if I’d need both hands to count the number if Americans I’ve heard use “whom” in a sentence outside of English class, let alone used it correctly. I don’t even feel I see it written often here.
minus-square@acetanilidelink2•10 months agoAmerican here: no idea how or when to use whom. Keep reading about it, but, uh, can never remember which is which.
minus-squareanon6789OPlink4•10 months agoI only had one teacher that taught it well, so I’m glad I liked her as a teacher and paid attention. Who/whom and I/me I find work well when trying to make substitutions. Check out these guides to see what I mean.

That makes me think of US vs UK English:
Color/colour
Favorite/favourite
Aluminum/aluminium
“Whom” is proper in both American and UK English…
