gnomiI keep having to correct this, so I'm putting it here instead of stabbing my Purple Pen of Doom through my lovely 22" flat-screen monitor.
The Subjective Case
-- A penguin rang the doorbell.
-- Bob asked me who rang the doorbell.
The Objective Case
-- I gave a herring to the penguin.
-- It was the penguin to whom I gave the fish.
Remember (reposting a joke I first posted in January 2008):
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Objective case.
Objective case who?
*No*! Objective case "whom"!
