Too Correct!

Brooke McEldowney is one of my favorite cartoonists, partly because he does his grammar well. I’m certain this is intentional:
I’ve written about separable verbs (e.g. to gross out, to put up with) before. In the upper right corner you can do a search on “separable” to find my other posts on the subject. He’s following the bogus rule not to end a sentence with a preposition. (See those previous posts.)
And the “whom” is correct. “Whom” is the direct object, even though it serves as an interrogative.
