Now if they ran this on the daily C19 update, maybe people might wake up. All those whom have died from Vax...
Great idea. We need to do the same, everywhere.
Ungrammatical!
Regards,
Kudos to the people bringing attention to these deaths.

AUS Navy Stats:
In 31 years there have been 317 cases of myocarditis in service personnel.
This year, up to 28th September 2021, there have been:
1,113 cases of myocarditis.
It doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to crack this case!
Are there any journalists out there? Any at all?

>> 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."

... the subjective case
Freeper’s original use of “who” was correct. Other Freeper’s attempted grammar correction was incorrect.
FReegards.
That’s cool
But again this: ‘who have died’ vs ‘who died’
Same diff as between "who have eaten" and "who ate" - or as between "who have attempted" and "who attempted."
You choose one over the other depending upon the given context and the given intention.
E.g., in certain cases / contexts, it might even be "more appropriate" to write "who had died." (Plusquamperfect)
That's the best I can say without resorting to all kinds of grammatical terminology which might only further confuse you.

>> which might only further confuse you.
Be generous and confuse me.
>> Same diff as between “who have eaten” and “who ate” - or as between “who have attempted” and “who attempted.”
And those are not two equal analogies — the first is structurally different, that latter is simply a substitution of terms.
“plusquamperfect”
you made that up, didnt you ?
No, that’s one of them new plum hybrids. I had one last year. it was tasty.
you made that up, didnt you ?
I sincerely hope that you are only indulging in a little playful humor, and not seriously attempting to troll me.
I am more comfortable with the German terminology, and would hence normally refer to the Vorvergangenheit, but no: There really is a plusquamperfect tense:

No, I'm sorry, but you are seriously mistaken.
"Who have died" is - grammatically speaking - IDENTICAL to "who have eaten." Merely the verb is a different one. But both sentences are in the Perfect Tense (or Aspect).
"Who died," "who ate," and "who attempted" all have essentially the same meaning as their Perfect Tense counterparts, but are in a different tense, namely: The Simple Past.
I have spent the past 35 years translating complex technical and legal texts from/into German, Russian, and English, i.e., my livelihood has depended upon my knowing the difference.
If you choose not to believe me, then I suggest that you consult, e.g., Wikipedia.

Now if you could explain how to use “:” vs “;”
