Who vs Whome
-
Ok. So I look up the site daily on my phone. I'm not happy that the tag line is "for those who code". It should be whome, right? Just me? Maybe >_<
It is correct. Whome is not a word. Whom is, but is only used in restricted circumstances - either when the he/him rule applies, or when you are doing a Homer Simpson impression to attempt to sneak into a fancy strip club.

My education is older that I am Ok then; whome = whom I guess I should've guessed that replies to my pedantic message would be pedantic

Sorry, couldn't resist. :) As others have remarked, I think "For those who code" is correct. If the slogan was written for consumers of code (e.g. end users), then the phrase "For whom the code is written" would be preferred over "For who the code is written". /ravi

Because "For those who spend entirely too many hours squinting at computer screens while doing back-flips to meet untenable demands" was too long.

As the sentence indicates that this relates to the subject of the verb, "for those who code" is correct. Try rearranging this to "they code" which sounds about right, as opposed to "them codes" which is what the implied plural form would suggest would be the replacement sentence, and just sounds plain wrong.

Who - should be used to refer to the subject of a sentence. Whom - should be used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition.

Does anyone else see this parody as far too close to truth for many of the QA posts?
Parody? It's probably a quote... :sigh:

Maybe we are just ignorant and it's a word tht we don't know the meaning of. Yet. :-) Perhaps it's something to eat. Pass me the whomes, please.
