Re: "To whom"

Who is the greater prescriptivist, the one who insists
we must use "whom" or the one who insists that we must
not?

I use it quite naturally because I was brought up to
use it. Others don't use it, and I let it go.  It
doesn't hurt my ears or offend my sensibilities.
Being offended by "whom" is no different than being
offended by the lack of "whom". Such a person is not
offended because of what the other person says, he is
offended because he has chosen to be offendable.
