Yes, for the English language, "whom" came to mind when I read this, but that's about the only one. The way Sweetpea wrote it, it sounded like they abolished all cases apart from nominative. That's drastic, unless they were already not used any more.
And, how sad would it be if
whom were to be abolished! True, many native English speakers don't use it any more, or don't use it correcly, but to declared it dead!?
