Grammar question: who vs whom

[mythoughts]

Which is correct?

I am the person with whom ________ resides with.
or
I am the person with who ________ resides with.

[Up2DaRack]

Which is correct?

I am the person with whom ________ resides with.
or
I am the person with who ________ resides with.

Why end the sentence with "with" if it is prefaced before who or whom?

Why end the sentence with "with" if it is prefaced before who or whom?

I saw a rubber stamp with the sentence, using the word "whom". I told the girl that I thought it should be "who". I'm not one that's picky on grammar, but this was a business and the stamp is used on business documents.

Which is correct?

I am the person with whom ________ resides with.
or
I am the person with who ________ resides with.

Remove the first "with" and it makes more sense. It should read:

"I am the person who resides with ___________."

The general rule is -- Replace "who" with "he/she" and "whom" with "him/her" and if they make sense you know which one to use.

I agree. That's what I told the girl. She didn't believe me though.
Her argument was the phrase, "To "whom" it may concern".

I used the he/him explanation to her as well.
It would be: it concerns "him", (not "he"), therefore it would be "whom",
but in the other case, "he" resides with me (not "him" resides with me", therefore it would be who.
Thanks for your input.

I'll rewrite an entire sentance just to avoid a grammar issue.

The grammar checker prefers the first one... whom over who.

Agree on dropping the 'with.'

Agree with rewriting the sentence, e.g., I live with ___________.

I say "whom" is correct. Object of a preposition.

I guess you are correct; how, i revised the sentence. The preposition "with" is the key.

[Dee Lightner]

WHO is a subjective-case pronoun, and can be used only for subjects and subject complements. WHOM is an objective-case pronoun and can be used only for objects.

These words are used primarily in subordinate clauses or questions.

(according to Pocket Manual of Style (second edition), by Diana Hacker)
In other words, you use WHO if it is used as the Subject. And you use WHOM if it is the OBJECT.

Dee, I wondered where you might be - great to see part of the old gang show up.

If you use the he/him trick, the correct sentence would be "I am the person "he" resides with".
You wouldn't say "I am the person "him" resides with.
So why wouldn't it be "who"?

I agree the sentence was poorly constructed from the start. That seems to be the way businesses operate sometimes. I believe they think its more "business like" to sound confusing sometimes. At least that's how it seems to me whenever I get an e-mail from HR or other office personel.

I'll rewrite an entire sentance just to avoid a grammar issue.

But apparently not a spelling issue...

Horton Hears a Whom? No way.

Horton Hears a Whom? No way.

I think in this case Whom is a noun, not a pronoun.
It seems to refer to a citizen oh Whoville (ie "Horton hears a Martian")

Otherwise it would be "Horton hears whom ?"

I'd drop the last with.
