But people think it sounds more formal, more correct to say, “Between you and I.“James Breinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14818283595738647442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36328170.post-86943619996294113442008-08-11T11:00:00.000-04:002008-08-11T11:00:00.000-04:00Thank you for clearing up the "for whomever/whoeve...Thank you for clearing up the "for whomever/whoever" question for me. I never thought about dropping the "ever." And I will continue to care as well. <BR/><BR>BUT what <B>REALLY</B> gripes me is the "<I>me</I> and Joe did something." It started with me correcting my kids. Now I'm hearing it on the futuristic sci-fi TV shows I like to watch.

Not only do...Jim --<BR/><BR/>I have very sad tidings for you. Not only do few people know how to use whoever and whomever correctly, but the situation is going to become immeasureably worse. I am teaching an SAT prep course and recently read in one of the major workbooks that there will be no questions in the new writing section on who and whom because the distinction is passing out of use. The end is near! Soon it will be just you and Kelly who care.<BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Dave BoldtDavid Boldthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04959337666287183045noreply@blogger.com
