Tip #492: Who or Whom   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #456 of 482 |

New Feature--Word of the Week. A word will be selected that
may not be well-known by many people. We suggest you use the
word often during the week, so it will become a part of your
new vocabulary.

Clamor (n): insistent public expression. There is a clamor for
ethical leaders.

**************************************************************

Tip #492: If you're confused over when to use "who" or "whom"
use this trick: substitute the word he/she or him/her and notice
which sounds better. If he or she is correct, then use who. If
him or her sounds better, use whom. Example: Ms. Stevens is the
one (who, whom) had the highest sales this quarter.
"Her had the highest sales" doesn't sound correct.
"She had the highest sales" sounds correct, so use who.
