Sorry, it's just horribly wrong:
"The "senior developer", whom is the stake holder's right hand man, said this:"
"Who", not "whom". There's no reason to use "whom" at all any more unless you really know when you should. "Who" is acceptable at all times.
The code seems fine though... ;)
- damoncali 14y ago"Who" is acceptable at all times. I was unaware. Is this just laziness slipping into common usage or has it always been the case?
- petercooper 14y agoIt may have been laziness once but if anything slipped, it slipped a long time ago. I'd argue that a sentence like "Whom are you talking to?" would sound pompous and old-fashioned to most Anglophones (and not solely because it ends with a preposition).
