Who versus Whom

Okay, my hand is up there, too, making the confession that a lot of us are probably guilty of - not always knowing which is the word to use. Even native English speakers get this wrong. Even if we do (instinctively) get it right because it “sounds” better to our authorial ears, we can still not know WHY we do what we do. 

So the general rule is 

Who should be used to refer to the subject of a sentence.

Whom should be used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition.

Even when I read this my brain kind of quirks and says what does that mean in practice? Some sites say “ “who” is always subject to a verb, and that “whom” is always working as an object in a sentence. “ And my brain still quirks and goes “yeah, but what does THAT actually mean?”

This definition gets closer to making sense to me: The difference between “who” and “whom” is the same as the difference between “I” and “me;” “he” and “him;” “she” and “her.” 

A faint glimmer appears. So, “Who cares?” is a case where who refers to the subject of the sentence and cares is the verb.  And “To whom it may concern” is the object of the verb, not the subject of the sentence. 

One tip: try writing the sentence to replace who and whom with he or him.  If you can replace the word with “he” or “’she” then you should use who. However, if you can replace it with “him” or “her,” use whom. Let’s look at some examples.

I know who your best friend is! (He/she is your best friend. Not him/her is your best friend).

Who is going to the ball game? (He is going to the ball game, not him is going to the ball game)

The boy who went bare-legged got sunburnt. (He got sunburnt, not Him got sunburnt)

So, is it 

Do you know who I am talking about? 

or 

Do you know whom I am talking about?

Using the rule above, rephrase the question as a sentence. 

“I am talking about him” - which means that WHOM is the right answer!. 

This post comes courtesy of a lovely line I just read in the story  I’m not drunk enough for this by Kitten Kin.: 

DON’T pretend you don’t know who I’m talking about!” John added, flicking one finger loose from around his mobile so that he could stab the air with it.

“Whom,” Sherlock corrected, and then bit down on his lips and began intently examining the back of the sofa.

“You read something which you thought only happened to you, and you discover that it happened 100 years ago to Dostoyevsky. This is a very great liberation for the suffering, struggling person, who always thinks that he is alone. This is why art is important. Art would not be important if life were not important, and life is important.”

When you change, don’t announce it. Just bloom.

This is your daily reminder to not be ashamed of making your life easy for yourself.

Cut your food into small pieces, make the font size 30 on your e book, use straws to drink, get a pen that’s comfortable to hold, take more naps, walk slowly, eat another cookie, buy velcro shoes, re-watch the part you couldn’t understand the first time, write things on your hands so you don’t forget it… whatever you want and/or need

Don’t let anyone tell you how you should be doing things. We don’t need to prove each other anything

i don't know if you have posted your headcanon about Harry and Ginny's house, but is it possible if you can share some of your ideas/pictures about it? or maybe a sketch of their home?

I think Harry's decision would be about the location and Ginny's would be about the aesthetics. Not too secluded, but also not crowded with neighbours. He would want a peaceful location, where with a hill and a lake and, later, a small quidditch field for their kids, very much inspired by the Burrow. They wouldn't want a big house, where there would be empty space. It would have everything they needed. I imagine it being quite messy during weekend days but very organized in their own way.

I also imagine it's a house with lots of wood aesthetic, pleasing and comfy!
