Speaking of grammar, here’s a quick tip.

Headline from YWN:

How would you answer that question?

a) He is playing he.

b) He is playing him.

c) Him is playing him.

d) Him is playing he.

It should be obvious that the correct answer is b). Now, we just replace “he” with “who” and “him” with “whom.” Therefore, the question should have been: Who is Playing Whom?
