Hugh misses a joke

In my post here, I describe how a professor of "writing" hypercorrects, and says "whom" when she means "who". I wrote:

Between you and I, her hypercorrection suggests she is not someone whom can be trusted.

Hugh "corrects" this to "between you and me", thereby completely missing the point.

As if I wouldn't know that. I thought it was only my jokes about Nabokov that he didn't get.

Unless it's some kind of elaborate double bluff.

Not a bluff at all. I am a straightforward blunt no-nonsense person. I don't fool around, and AI take things as I think they are. Perhaps I should start behavingĀ  differently. But be patient. Tt will take meĀ a while to get the hang of it.

I think I once missed one of your jokes in my eagerness to leap on what I saw as a mistake. It happens, but you owe me.
