12629	[ 6] What, then, is the objective criterion of the word? 12629 And is one point of view sufficient? 12629 And what types of concepts make up the content of these formal patterns? 12629 Are the subjective value of_ he_ and the objective value of_ him_ entirely, or even mainly, dependent on the difference of form? 12629 Are there resistances of a more intimate nature to the borrowing of words? 12629 Are we not giving language a power to change of its own accord over and above the involuntary tendency of individuals to vary the norm? 12629 Are we not on safe ground then? 12629 Are we, after all, justified in identifying it with a radical element? 12629 But are there not certain ideas that it is impossible to render except by way of such and such parts of speech? 12629 But is not the word, one may object, as much of an abstraction as the radical element? 12629 But was the sequence of phonetic changes anaccident"?

12629	Does the breath pass into the mouth alone or is it also allowed to stream into the nose?
12629	Does the difficulty of classification prove the uselessness of the task?
12629	Even now we may go so far as to say that the majority of us are secretly wishing they could say"Who did you see?"

12629	On what basis shall we classify?
12629	Ought not the norm, wherever and whenever threatened, automatically to reassert itself?
12629	Probably the majority of those who read these words feel that it is quite"incorrect"to say"Who did you see?"
12629	So are the numeral, the interrogative pronoun( e.g.,"to be what?
12629	The folk says_ it is me_, not_ it is I_, which is"correct"but just as falsely so as the_ whom did you see_?
12629	The more radical solution_ Who did you see?_ is the one the language is gradually making for.
12629	The solution_ Did you see whom?_ or_ You saw whom?_[135] is too contrary to the idiomatic drift of our language to receive acceptance.
12629	The speaker and hearer feel the word, let us grant, but how shall we justify their feeling?
12629	The uneducated folk that says"Who did you see?"
12629	There is likely to be a little hesitation in the choice of the form, but the precedent of usages like"Whom did you see?"
12629	They are common enough, but are they as alive, as little petrified or bookish, as our English_-ness_ and_-ful_ and_ un-_?]

12629	We are likely to avoid the locution altogether and to say"Who was it you saw?"
12629	We do not secretly chafe at"Whom did you see?"
12629	We have discovered no less than four factors which enter into our subtle disinclination to say"Whom did you see?"

12629	What if we add the preterit tense suffix_-it_?
12629	What point of view shall we adopt for our classification?
12629	Why emphasize both a technique and a particular content at one and the same time?
12629	Would we be so ready to die for"liberty,"to struggle for"ideals,"if the words themselves were not ringing within us?
12629	Yet the case is more hollow than the grammarian thinks it to be, for in reply to such a query as"You''re a good hand at bridge, John, are n''t you?"
12629	Yet the logic for the latter("Did you say I was a good hand at bridge?")
