    Does anyone else see this parody as far too close to truth for many of the QA posts?

      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 >_<

      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.

                            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.

                              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:
