Hate being the grammar Nazi, but she didn't *lose her job for who she married".

She lost her job because of who she's married to.

She isn't a hero who saved her husband by losing her job. She's a criminal whose crime is being married to her husband.

At least that's what the wording implies quite strongly.

Most grammar nazis I know would go with "whom" for the object of a preposition.

Not me.

'Whom' is the last vestage of cases in English, and I'd absolutely love to see them go. The only use for 'whom' I have is mocking the British, really.

Is "cases" a typo? If not, what does it mean in this context?

Most grammar nazis I know would probably go with "Not I"
