Well, tsuwm, wuwm do you trust? That article was exceedingly long. I skimmed a little of it...long enough to find Safire's Law, but it doesn't sound like Faldage's reference at all... unless there were more Safirian laws. Here's what I found:
'Safire's Law of Who/Whom, which forever solves the problem troubling writers and speakers caught between the pedantic and the incorrect: "When whom is correct, recast the sentence." Thus, instead of changing his slogan to "Whom do you trust?"—making him sound like a hypereducated Yalie stiff—Mr. Bush would win back the purist vote with "Which candidate do you trust?" '
Thanks for providing the link...but skim is all the time I'll give it tonight.
