This absolutely true...I always say follow the oney it will tell you everything you need to know...and when you do it most often leads to lending credibility to so called "conspiracies"...but the money and special interests tell the truth...

Trump can also be compromised...this is a very real threat...Thats why we as the people have to hold his feet to the fire, while celebrating his victories at the same time. I support him whole heartedly, but if he strays from his agenda I will not stay loyal...

No, you are wrong.

A good trick, for the uninitiated, in whom the who/whom distinction has not been mastered, is to replace the word "who" or "whom" with "he" and "him", and see which one makes the most sense. When "he" makes sense, one should use "who", and when "him" makes sense, one uses "whom". In the above example, one can rearrange the clause as "even he wants a better country". That's an easy trick that will help you avoid this mistake, which you make very frequently.

I can provide you with some web page links or suggest some books to read if you desire a more thorough explanation.

:cheers:

My takeaway from the media is that the Russian ambassador to Turkey was shot and killed at an art exhibit.

What is the false narrative you both seem to feel the media is feeding us???

not if you don't give a fuck about whom, or who. whom just sounds better. i ain't writing a novel here, Bungle brains.

thanks for the potent suggestion though to read more thoroughly on minuscule notions of the English language and it's diverse interpolations, for the particulars, that is to say, the lesson.

i'll keep it in mind if ever it matter.

You're welcome. It's okay to avoid "whom" altogether in informal speech, but when you misuse it it makes you look like a pompous pseudointellectual.

Wait a minute, you can just rearrange the sentence to something completely different?  Alrighty then, how about this:

"a better country is even wanted by he/him"

This would make Akira right.

OTOH, no one would ever say "a better country is even wanted by him." That's barely English. Capers was right.

Leaders are puppets of their emotions and how that plays into the public reaction and their morality.

I agree with this perspective, it sends a message. Turkey and Russia recognised it for what it was.

I was arguing against the logic of rearranging a sentence to apply caper's test.

With that said, I agree that "who" is correct.  I mistakenly thought akira was arguing in favor of "who".

I didn't rearrange. I replaced. YOU rearranged. If the trick I mentioned confuses you, remember that the subject of a sentence gets a "who". The object gets "whom".
