who or whom

[allthewayanime]

In these sentences should it be who or whom?

e.g. I can't believe it you hired who/whom?!
Who/whom do you love?

e.g. I can't believe it you hired who/whom?!
Who/whom do you love?

What do you think?

[allthewayanime]

In the first sentence I think that it should be whom and in the second one also whom(but in informal speech who will do too, but I'm not sure).

I can't believe it you hired who/whom?!

I don't understand your first example. Is it meant to be two sentences?

I can't believe it! You hired who/whom?

[5jj]

e.g. I can't believe it. y You hired who/whom?. Pedants insist on 'whom'. Most of us say 'who'.
Who/whom do you love? Pedants insist on 'whom'. Most of us say 'who'.

On this and similar forums the standard advice is to use whom only after prepositions:

'Ask not for whom the bell tolls', but 'Don't ask who the bell's tolling for';

'To whom is the letter addressed?' but 'Who is the letter addressed to?'

English, like virtually every modern language, is dynamic. I have seen reports from academic linguists that within the next 100 years, the word "whom" will disappear.

I hate to remind you, but you are even older than I. You and I should not make such statements - It won't be that long.

I'm a couple of years younger, but in the same boat nevertheless.
