      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 >_<

          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.

                      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.

                                      But it's a statement. The only quiestion I can get out of it is: Who codes? A1: he codes A2: him So you're saying that the question dictates the answer not the other way around? Ah I see. Ok. I'm fine with it now 😉

                                        It's more a case of the question helping to arrive at the answer, although both are dependent on each other and in that sense interchangeable - having said that, it looks like you have understood that :thumbsup:
