| Dec 29, 2020 at 13:14 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | It seems to me that "fronting" the preposition at shouldn't really affect the underlying syntax (and hence the choice between who and whom, if you're prepared to consider that possibility). It's just that one of the few contexts where you still hear whom is from people adopting a "la-di-dah telephone voice" when asking To whom am I speaking? (where "normal" people today ask Who am I speaking to?). | |
