>> who not whom
Quite some time ago, I once used ‘whom’ in the subjective. I recall the accusation of being a pretentious jackass. To this day, I fight the temptation to use it.
The rule, which I just reviewed, states that ‘whom’ is acceptable as the object of a verb or preposition.
That’s fine... but ‘who have died’ vs ‘who died’ is for me the real struggle — lol.
Sorry, but you lost me at "subjective."
