That's My Boy
-
His English homework this week was to answer the following questions about the last book he had read. "Who do you know that would like to read it and why?" "Who do you know who wouldn't like to read it and why?" He said to me this is really hard Daddy, it's easy to say who would like it because all my friends like Diary of the Wimpy Kid, but I don't know anyone who wouldn't want to read it. I agreed it was hard and somewhat a negative way of thinking about one of your favourite books but I told him to go away and have a think about it and I'm sure you'll come back with something. Ten minutes later he came back and proudly showed me his homework book where he had wrote "Freddie Kruegar would not like to read Diary of the Wimpy Kid because every time he tried to turn the page his razor hands will shred it to pieces" That's my boy, no need for a DNA test there. Can't wait till see how his Teacher marks it.

Shouldn't that be "Whom" ?

The first sentence doesn't use a relative personal pronoun, either, so I vote we take up a petition to sack this moron who's pretending to be an English teacher.

Nope. Sorry. Oxford Dictionaries has declared the use of 'whom' in this context unnecessarily exaggerated formality (as close as they will ever come to saying 'incorrect'!) The simple interrogative is properly treated differently to the relative pronoun. It is one of many examples where the rules (which you will remember were arbitrarily imposed by an intellectual elite anyway) have never truly reflected actual use.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Well Duh. Thank you. My education continues. I thought for sure it was whom.
