Who vs Whome

For thems what code.
Can I 5* this

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 >_<
Nah, doesnt sit right with me. "For those whom code"? Sounds like shit man.

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.

If you can answer who/whom question with "he" then it's "who", if you can answer it with "him" then it's Whom": Who wrote the code? He wrote the code. By whom was the code written? It was written by him.
