CNN's Rick Sanchez goes off the road on pronoun use
CNN's On the Road "starring" Rick Sanchez might consider firing his "pit crew." In Philadelphia recently to cover the primary face-off between Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, a graphic expressed the following query pointed to voter in the City of Brotherly Love:
Who's voting for who?
The graphic should have read: Who's voting for whom? Objective case pronouns needed after prepositions. The pronoun serves as the object of the preposition.
Given Sanchez' quirky stunts in order to gain viewers, it comes as little surprise that the use of language will be equally quirky.
