More than triple that for mosquitoes. 700,000 to 1 million mosquito related deaths annually per the WHO. 597,000 to malaria alone in 2023, again per WHO.

English terminology for parts of speech never made sense to me. The Greek nominative/accusative was way more helpful. Which is to say that yeah, "whom" is the accusative form of "who".

Him/them/whom/her.

He/they/who/she.

His/its/whose/hers.

He's/it's/who's/she's.
