Noun/pronoun disagreement and ambiguity

Malaysian durians are expected to sell like hot cakes compared with the ones from Thailand due to its tasty flesh.

The above sentence is taken from a news item in a popular national English daily.

The possessive pronoun 'its' refers to the durians and can stand for Malaysian or Thailand ones though syntax favours the former. Here lies the ambiguity apart from the incongruent matching of a plural noun with a singular pronoun.

Besides, the above use of 'due to' (regarded as an adjective phrase) is stated to be incorrect in the older editions of Oxford Concise Dictionary.

The sentence in question can be recast into a more appropriate one as "Malaysian durians are expected to sell like hot cakes compared with those from Thailand owing to the former's tasty flesh.

The ever-confusing "Who/Whom"

So you say to people who you think you may have injured, 'I'm sorry,' and then you say to yourself, 'I'm sorry.'

The above sentence is taken from an e-mail which I have received recently.

Here, the 'who' appears to be inappropriate. It should represent the people you may have injured and 'injured' is a transitive verb that takes an object.

As the relative pronoun 'who' (in the subjective case) should be in the objective case, the sentence should have been: So you say to people whom you think you may have injured, 'I'm sorry,' and then you say to yourself, 'I'm sorry.'

The clause 'you think' is a parenthetical clause/parenthesis which can be set off by commas and it has no grammatical relations in the sentence.
