Quick answer 60-second read Canonicalises to Who vs. Whom

Is it "who to blame" or "whom to blame"?

"Whom to blame." The blame is being done to someone — the object slot calls for whom.

"You blame him," not "you blame he" — the him-test tells you the object form fits. So the phrase with whom is the grammatically careful one. In casual speech, "who to blame" is widespread and most readers won't notice.

Usage
