Is "aim at" ALWAYS inseparable? "By the spring of 2005, the Metro was the widest-read paper among the 18 to 45 urbanite audience it is aimed at." (Dennis Griffiths, Fleet Street)
Would it be absolutely wrong or merely unnatural to write:
"By the spring of 2005, the Metro was ... among the 18 to 45 urbanite audience at whom it is aimed.
THANK YOU

Teacher Re: Is "aim at" ALWAYS inseparable? It's not wrong, it is a bit formal and overly wordy though.
