Thy Geekdom Come Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I met Laura (hugheyforlife) and James (Theoketos) today!!! Laura is awesome and has two little siblings, Joseph and Eve, and they're bunches of fun! James is...different than I imagined. James drove me back to my aunt's house and we got chased by some nutter in a truck in the middle of nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N: Who A: Who G: Whose D: Whom [/quote] "Met" takes the direct object, which is accusative. Also, indirect objects take "whom" as well-to "whom" or for "whom"...

Colleen Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 That's so cool, Micah. Oh, and I dunno . . . I think it sounds awkward to say "Guess Whom." I would go with "Guess Who." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benedict Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Trust the ears of [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v622/EldricIV/Nazi.gif[/img] "Guess who" is correct. "Guess whom I met" is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Guess whom I met" is correct. [/quote] Because "who" is part of the clause. "Guess who is phatmasser?" has a "who" because the "who" is the subject of the linking verb "is" while "guess whom I met?" has a "whom" because "whom" is the object of the verb "met."
