Whom

[Tdol]

I use it in formal writing and speech.

[Casiopea]

I use it in formal speech and writing, both, as well as when speaking to someone who I think expects to hear it , like TOEFL students and colleagues who adhere to prescriptivist traditions

[Tdol]

I drop it in if I think the other person expects it as well.

Does it matter if use "who" instead of "whom" in every single place where "whom" can be used or should be used... .while speaking....



thank you..!

Nowadays WHO is used instead of WHOM.

[Soup]

I've stopped using whom.

Hi,

Every language has differents levels of use. Each occasion requires a different level.

The words, and the speech patterns we use while talking with friends at the pub are not the same we use while sitting for a job interview.

Job interview: formal
Pub drinking: informal/slang

I always read it & use it everywhere

because my teachers prevent us from using any informal word
