Who (whom?) are they kidding

[DAKA]

I'm sure it ain't my imagination, but seems that the boxes/package are the SAME SIZE.....BUT..... the CONTENT IS LESS

Cereal boxes are the same height and width as always.

But they are now 1" thick.

That is why Ivory soap floats.

Leave to to the marketing weasels  to turn a rip off (we're selling you air) into a benefit.

Quite common, the price and package are the same but if you check what used to be 20 FL OZ is now 19 FL OZ.

Most of us do not say whom am I kidding because it sounds so wrong, even though it is technically correct.

I is the subject of the sentence, am kidding is the conjugated verb, and whom is the object. To better see that structure, pose the question differently: I am kidding him. → I am kidding whom. → Whom am I kidding?

But that sounds awkward and "Who am I kidding" is equally correct a sounds better and less pretentious like someone who is trying to use a  more "Proper" word when they don't need to.

I never use “whom”, I simply don’t understand when to use the word. I guess I’m functionally illiterate.

Ever see a bottle of something that says, "20% More Free!!!",  sitting next to a regular sized bottle, and they were both the same price?

Whom is an object pronoun like ‘me’. It can’t have action. Just as you would not say ‘me went to the movies’ you don’t say ‘whom went to the movies.’

 

Bottom line, if the person referenced is doing something it’s ‘who’ if they’re not doing something it’s ‘whom.’

Dude, you have a problem, not me.  NPTim said he didn't know how to use whom so I told him. I'm not policing anyone.  I couldn't care less whether you or anyone else on this forum uses correct grammar or not.  If you choose to sound ignorant that's perfectly fine with me.

You are among those whom that's perfectly fine with.
