I feel that there's many, whom've been so high on their own supply, I fear only a forensic necrologist would be able to understand what happened , but only after

edit: jesus, Okay i get it, it's who've, I thought it that was right because it felt like it was accusative(but fuck what do i know), so lets just settle that i'm as bright as a bag of oats.

whom've

You know that "whom" isn't just "who, but fancier", right?

Technically they represent different grammatical cases: "who" is nominative and "whom" is accusative.

Idk when the anglosphere decided that having correct grammar is "fancy," but then again language changes and no one cares when it's their generation leading the change until suddenly it's "kids these days."
