G
Whom is the object. This means you can use it in a similar way to 'him' or 'her'. Using a preposition before 'him' makes sense, because 'him' is an object. "I gave the orange to him." It would NOT make sense to say:"I gave the orange to he." This is because the 'he' is the subject. "He walked to the shop." Not:"Him walked to the shop." It is similar with 'whom'. Using who when one should use 'whom' isn't a big deal; not everyone is an grammar faggot like me. But using 'whom' incorrectly is annoying because they are trying too hard. Instead of: "I spoke to a foid who I was working with", you can say: "I spoke to a foid with whom I was working".
'Whom' makes sense more often in the form of addressing a point without the context. For example, "to whom?" makes more sense than saying "who did you send it to?"
In simpler terms: use who when asking a question about something; "who took my 12 inch stapler?" Or when describing someone: "My boss, who is fat, ate my ravioli sandwich."
Use whom when writing formally, such as when addressing someone: "to whom it may concern". Or if you're trying to use it, it always (I think) follows after a preposition such as to, with or from.
Or if you're not sure, don't bother trying.
