A word that is extinct in the English language. Since it is extinct, I will provide examples of how to use it.
The easiest way to remember the difference between who and whom is by knowing the difference between he/him; I/me; they/them; him/her.
This is called the “m” rule. If you say something like “From who did you get that?” then it is incorrect. You wouldn’t say “You got that from he.” It wouldn’t sound right. Now, let’s take a look at an example with the word “whom” used incorrectly. “Whom passed?” she asked. It wouldn’t make sense to say “him passed,” so the correct word to use the is “who.”

Objective case of “who.” The most incorrectly-used word in the English language.
If you can answer with him, you use whom.
If you can answer with he, you use who.
Person 1: Hey man, who did you vote for?
Person 2: You mean, for whom did you vote. You would not say "You voted for he."

A word totally misused by teachers and other school administration who want to parade their 'knowledge' in front of anyone and everyone that is unfortunately unable to block out the barrage of nonsense.
Teacher: *Whom* is using the pencil sharpener?
Me: Um...that's wrong
Teacher: Shut up! Whom is the teacher here, may I ask?
Me: Um...that's wrong
Teacher: Shut up! Whom is the teacher here, may I ask?

To whom this letter may concern....
With whom did you dance, Yesterday night?
Bob: "Whom killed Jeff? It was Colonel Mustard, with the candlestick!"
Sam: "Shut the fuck up, Bob. Using 'whom' doesn't make you sound British."
