serafina20If you're going to use whom correctly, stick your preposition with it, not at the end of the sentence.
Wrong:
"We'd never find out whom he was working with."
Right:
"We'd never ind out with whom he was working."
Acceptable as dialogue:
"We'd never find out who he was working with."
I mean, technically, the first would be okay as dialogue, too (since I'm sure people say it), but it'd bug the fuck out of me spoken as well as written.
