Ryan: ...so that you can communicate it to the people here, to your clients, to whomever
Michael: It's whoever, not whomever. Whomever is never actually right
Jim: Well, sometimes it's right
Creed: Michael is right, it's a made up word used to trick students
Andy: No, actually, whomever is the formal version of whoever
Oscar: Well, obviously it's a real word, but I don't know when to use it correctly
Michael: Not a native speaker
Kevin: I know what's right, but I'm not gonna say, because you're all jerks who didn't come see my band last night
Ryan: Do you really know which one's correct?
Kevin: I don't know
Pam: It's whom when it's the object of the sentence, and who when it is the subject
Phyllis: That sounds right
Michael: It sounds right, but is it right?
Stanley: How did Ryan use it, as an object?
Ryan: As an object
Kelly: Ryan used me as an object
Stanley: Is he right about that?
Pam: How did he use it again?
Toby: It was Ryan wanted Michael, the subject, to explain the computer system, the object -
Michael: Thank you!
Toby: ...to whomever, meaning us, the indirect object. Which is the correct usage of the word.
Michael: No one asked you anything, ever, so whomever's name is Toby. Why don't you take a letter opener and stick it in your skull?
