Red Pen: A Grammar Podcast

Who or Whom? One weird trick melts away YEARS of confusion


Listen Later

To whom or not to whom, that is the question.  The word's going the way of the northern white rhino, but is it ever wrong to use "who" in its place? Will your fancy dinner party guests think you're a troglodyte?  And what if you overcorrect and stick a "whom" where it doesn't belong?  All this, plus digressions on red being the real warmest color, why it's maybe not the best idea to deputize 14-year-olds as camp counselors, and that time Ryan got perma-banned from day trading.


Questions/comments/ideas/snark go in the comments. We love you.


Thing 1:  Ryan Davis
