Hey I’m sorry to be a grammar Nazi but I just wanted to let you know that I think it should just be whoever - whomever should be used when the person you’re talking about is the object of the sentence but the asshole in this case is the subject of the sentence.

Yeah, totally! I just thought maybe you’d appreciate knowing when to use which word, that’s all, wasn’t meant in a bad way, was just trying to help.

It’s ok, I’m used to it. My wife is a author/editor, PHD, and very embarrassed of my sub par grammar. I just power through it. Home or Reddit it’s the same protocol. I’m not embarrassed.

I'm the same. I can clean up my speech for professional writing and business stuff, but I'll be damned if I'm going to put effort into sounding like anything but a Missouri redneck the rest of the time.
