It's him/he that's in the wrong. (Which pronoun should I use?)
0 I know from my grammar book that we can say: It's 01 font 01 b 00 me 02 b 02 font 00 that 01 b 00 's 02 b 00 in the wrong. 02 br
02 br
00 But I wonder if the same logic could apply to the following case? 02 br
02 br
00 It's 01 b 01 font 00 him 02 font 02 b 00 / 01 b 00 he 02 b 00 that's in the wrong. 02 br
02 br
00 I know "he" would be OK, but what about "him"? Is it OK too? 02 br

00 Your grammar book may well say that ' 01 i 00 It's me that did it 02 i 00 ' is OK-- so any pronoun in the same case would enjoy the same right: 01 i 00 It's him/her/them that did it 02 i 00 . 02 br

00 However, this is labeled an informal usage, so careful grammar requires you to consider the pronoun primarily as the subje
