Hello all.
Quick question, is the following question correct:
>There are men with whom I speak who don't care about such things.
Thanks.

I don't see anything amiss with it, Marie.

That's perfectly OK, Marie, but stilted. Although it would be fine for academic prose, it's not the sort of sentence most people would utter. Perhaps a more idiomatic phrasing would be There are men I speak to who don't care about such things.

It seems to me that that is a statement rather than a question.
(Am I missing something?)

Marie, try to stop thinking "correct" and start thinking "appropriate" - it will be far more useful if you truly want to understand English. It's almost impossible to comment intelligently on this sentence unless it is put into some kind of context.
