Moreso than "that". Of course, it isn't a big deal, and I typically->
refrain fro being grammar cop, but given the context of questioning Booger M's knowledge of grammer, it stuck me as more than a little out of place!
If that was a real question,... who and whom is a little tricky (and almost interchangeable. Actually, "who" is the subject of a clause..and whom is everything else, but it is one of many ambiguous usages in English language. The EASY one is who (or Whom) vs that.. Who refers to people and that refers to groups, objects and things..
I know you get ridiculed today for trying to use the language correctly, but I deal mostly with School Superintendents, University C-Suite types, and the like. I am VERY careful of my correspondence to them and my language around them as they are WAY smarter than I am. It helps disguise that fact early on and gets my in front of them.
So..even if this meant nothing, it taught me something. I look this stuff up when I'm not sure and did that for "who vs whom"..PLUS, it's Christmas morning and I'm killing time until we load up to go join family...
Merry Christmas
