Who do you admire?

[Black Rabbit]

I admire...:
Tezuka Osamu

For obvious reasons... He made Astro Boy! If it wasn't for him, there probably wouldn't be any anime or manga.

Jasonthenitro (Link leads to his DeviantART)
He's an awesome flash animator and web comic artist! I really admire his animating and drawing skills.

And...

My Mommy!

Yeah, my mom. I love and admire her very much. Even though she is sometimes in pain or is sick, she still tries her hardest to do things around the house. And when she feels alright, she some times takes us (my siblings and me) to the park. And she's been blogging ever day since the beginning of the year!

It should be "WHOM do you admire?" But modern colloquial English has little use for 'whom.'

I have never even given any thought to this question.

...

Tezuka and Andrew Hussie.

Good topic.

"Admire" is a tricky word...seems to lend itself toward "affection" instead of 'respect".

I don't think I admire people, so much as admire people's actions, just like I don't really hate people, so much as their actions. That being said, there are many people whom I respect.


For example, I 'respect' JeffBert for saying that it should be "whom" instead of "who" and I 'admire' the way he said it.


So who(m) do I respect?

Soliders, police officers, firefighters, parents, etc...all those who selflessly make sacrifices every day to keep others safe.

There are plenty of people in particular who I respect, but...it would take a long time to list them.
