“of” is a preposition and thus requires the objective “whom” instead of the subjective “who” for its complement.

Grammar is the lost art of modern journalism.

The couple had three children together, all of who are now adults.

Found it.

And yes, I dropped my pronoun intentionally 'cause it's cool.
