A community for the fans and critics of the show 30 Rock.

Discussion of the show, pictures from the show and anything else 30 Rock related.

Rules:

  1. All DubVee instance rules apply. See the sidebar at https://dubvee.org/. Those are pretty comprehensive, so we don't really need to add much to those.
  2. No politics outside of what's referenced on the show. Let's leave that drama elsewhere since there's plenty of it.
  3. All posts must be 30 Rock related or adjacent. You dummies are awesome, so I don't think I've ever had to mod any posts for this, but codifying it for good measure.
  4. Less a rule and more of a guideline, but please try to provide alt text if your instance + client combination support it. If not, then please try to make an effort to provide a description of any image posts in the post body.
  5. Don't make fun of people for misusing dated cultural references. Are we all cowabunga on this?
  6. No talking about Krang! It would be a waste of time to talk about Krang on ~~television~~ the internet!

A trick I was taught to tell which to use: reword the sentence using they/them, and determine which sounds correct. If "they" sounds better, then "who" is correct in the original sentence. If "them" sounds better, "whom" is correct.

Example: "Who ate my Teamster sub?" Which of these two sounds better:

  • "They ate my Teamster sub."
  • "Them ate my Teamster sub."

In this case, we should use "who".

Example: "Who did you see Hot Tub Time Machine with?"

  • "You saw Hot Tub Time Machine with they."
  • "You saw Hot Tub Time Machine with them."

In this case, it is "whom".

Though even more proper would be "With whom did you see Hot Tub Time Machine?" because

You shouldn't end a sentice with a preposition at

The way I learned it is that "whom" is to "who" as "me" is to "I".

Granted, there's some cases where "me" is incorrectly used but sounds more correct. e.g. "You're smarter than me" which sounds correct, but should actually be "You're smarter than I" due to the implied verb (am) which is omitted at.

This is the sort of nonsense up with which I will not put!
