<< He was at the store.
Who was at the store?
It was him at the store.
It was whom at the store? >>
Call me crazy-- but shouldn't it be "it was HE at the store"? Which would
make it "it was who at the store" (if I even could find a context for that
phrase)?
Any other thoughts out there?
Questioning whether my English degree is indeed valid,
