Grammar question; who can we ask vs. who we can ask...?
I think both of these are acceptable in use... am I right or am I horribly wrong?
I feel the first one is not used very often, but is still correct.

The first is a question, and the second is a relative clause; both are correct*, depending on the context in which you're using them.
*If you really want to be nit-picky about it, it should really be "whom" rather than "who" (in both instances).

The first one is the one I hear and use 100% of the time.
I've never heard someone say, "Who we can ask to use the rest-room?" as apposed to, "Who can we ask to use the rest-room?".
Idk what to put here
"Who can we ask for ____"
"Do you know who we can ask for ___"
Both are correct, it depends on the sentence.
