Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 5294053, member: 1131"] The next emerging grammatical super-question is whether right-thinking writers and grammarians should countenance the disappearance of "whom" from the spoken and written language. There was a popular song a few decades ago entitled "Who Can I Turn To When Nobody Needs Me?". A prudish grammarian pointed out that "Who" in that sentence was incorrect; it should have been "Whom". To which the singer replied, "Anyone who asks 'Whom can I turn to' ain't gonna have nobody to turn to!" [/QUOTE]
