At whom is this aimed at?

I like the way you managed to use the correct "whom" to sound posh then completely fucked it up with the "at" on the end :)

You can end a sentence on a prepositional phrase. That's an old style suggestion, not a rule.

[-] HandwovenConsensus@lemm.ee 19 points 10 months ago

But it's redundant in that sentence because it began with "at."
