There is literally nothing better in this life than witnessing someone misuse "whom," I feel like a God looking at an ant

Knock Knock
Who's there?
To
To who?
*Pushes up glasses* It's to whom.

I intentionally don’t use whom in my speech just so I don’t come off as pretentious.

>>24803651 (OP)
Haha yes quite verily, quite.

>He never uses "its" (without the apostrophe)
>He thinks "fewer" is just a fancy alternative for "less"

words mean whatever we want them to mean

Your effort to avoid being perceived as pretentious is, ironically, you guessed it, pretentious.

THAT IS A CORRECT USAGE OF «WHOM», MORON, BUT, OF COURSE, YOU IGNORE THIS.

Just read "This Side of Paradise." Best novel out of the U.S.A. I've ever read. Even better than Raymond Chandler.
Will I enjoy "Gatsby," homies?

>He thinks "fewer" is just a fancy alternative for "less"

It is. We're all constructivist nominalists now. Magnitude and multitude are just quantity which is just a pragmatic language game. In reality there is only Will to Power and what it finds useful.

when do I use whom?

>>24807524
when the relative pronoun is an object

>>24807524
when inquiring about the object of your sentence

>>24807531
>>24807530
example?

>>24807536
english is the language with the most words in the world. english is the most diverse language in the world. new words makes english the best language in the world

>>24807535
this anon WHOM I deem as retarded is in fact retarded

>>24807524
It's the same rule as when to use I/me

>Me am hungry
Obviously retarded
>Me and Bill kicked the ball
Also wrong. You (and Bill) are the subject of the action, not the object, so you are in the nominative. It's "I and Bill kicked the ball" or "Bill and I kicked the ball."
>Bob shouted at Bill and I
Also wrong. You and Bill are the object of the verb here, so you should be in the accusative: "Bob shouted at Bill and me."

Same with whom:
>Whom did you kick?
>You kicked whom?
But
>Who kicked you?

Same for he/him
>He kicked him

It's all the same rule. Whom is just the object form (like him/me/her/them) of who. Who is the subject form. Just look at the verb and see who the "doer" is.
>Who cares? He cares. I care. She cares.
>To whom are you speaking? To him. To me. To her.
