Highly intelligent ex-girlfriend, doing a double something at Oxford, was also a jazz singer, played duo gig with me at some Uni posh dinner, penguin suit, robes, the lot.
From one of the speakers: 'So, as you can see, it's not what you know, but who.'
Instant retort from (genuine, professional, PhD with knobs on) grammar nazi sitting at top table:'Actually, it's not "who you know" - it's "whom".'
