Double A English

grammarlyblog:

Some say that “whom” is going the way of the dinosaur. What do you think?

I still teach my students when to use “whom” but recognize that it’s primarily used in writing.

If you answer “him” it should be “whom”. Whom did you vote for? Him. Whom did you give the book to? Them.

But, it doesn’t sound as “good” as “who” … so colloquially we still say “Who.”
