I’m home. Somehow the elves didn’t come and clean off my dining room table while I was gone. Damnit!
I’m wading through my emails, weighing new jobs and evaluating old. Today I have no set work, but want to clear things out, maybe fit in some writing time.
On the way home from the beach I stopped in and met one of you. It was fucking fantastic. It turns out we are real, and we are just as cool as we seem to be.
My blog is getting pretty journaly. Give me some good questions to write about.
Bisous,
Indy
Fangs and Clause 
who vs whom
discuss
OK. I need a refresher on that myself. Thanks!
Just ask your big sister.
Use “who” for subject, and “whom” for objects or after the a preposition. Subject is an action maker: “who took the doughnuts!?” And object gets done to: “whom should we invite?” (We’re doing the inviting not the unidentified whom). And post-preposition? “To whom do I owe this honour?”
But I think Downith’s point has more to do with whether “whom” is even a relevant word any longer. (I happen to think so.) Certain “authorities” have declared “whom” obsolete. I do think it sounds affected sometimes even though I know when to use it (and not).
My question is partly that but also concern that I will sound affected if I use incorrectly. So the good doctor has made a start, but I would value the input of a certain “copyeditor authority”
Pssst, Cougar. Stop stealing my material.
Just trying to be helpful. Surely they all know you had to learn it somewhere!
Although you are, without a doubt, my favorite second oldest sister, I did not learn who/whom from you.
Thank you Dr Cougar.
At least someone is grateful around here (not-so-veiled reference to my absolutely favourite very youngest sister)!
Don’t you have a book to write, Dr. Cougar?
We are real, that’s for damn sure. Cheers Indy!!!
