    I use it more in writing, less in speech. It is true that now more people use "who" instead of "whom".

    Hi!

    I use whom whenever it is necessary and required. In my country, English language exams are taken seriously and we are supposed to use this pronoun correctly ; we always have to know and demonstrate the difference between who and whom.

    Default Re: Whom

    I used to use whom whenever it's possible in communication. But I don't think that if you use who instead of whom it means you are using slang. Am I right?
    Because nowadays people kept chasing time, so they want to speak economically and quickly by any means.

    If you are a non-native speaker, it's better to keep using whom instead of who, or else we might get confused... Just my opinion though

    Hello, I'm 'The French,

    I prefer use the word 'that' it's more easy.

    What is the difference between which and whom?

    Thank.
