I'm tempted to name this thread after our most serious offender.

A very rare occurrence where I live.  :)

aygart posted it in this thread, not the tweets or the jokes threads. I assumed he had an issue with the spelling.

Anyone else bothered by Twitter's "Who to follow?"
The question mark belongs after the end quote.

I believe that's only true if the one being quoted asked it as a question.

I'm America, commas and periods always go inside the quotation marks but question marks and exclamation points can go either inside or outside depending on the sentence.

Correct. But that infraction is small compared to messing up who/whom.
