Whomever wrote the article.....
>>Whomever wrote the article....<<
I was going back and forth on that. “Whom” is used when you would use “him.” “Him wrote the article” doesn’t make sense — thus “whoever” is correct.
Better Grammar Nazis than I can weigh in.
I know when you undertake being a Grammar Nazi you always take a chance — which was the point of my joking post.
Whoever is the subjective use of the pronoun, which is the case in the corrected sentence. Whomever is the objective use of the pronoun, i.e. the boot was given to whomever couldn’t write a proper sentence.
