What's the difference between 'who' and 'whom'?
When watching English shows or reading English books, there are often these wise-ass characters that always correct people when they say 'who' when it should be 'whom'. I however, have really no clue what the difference is and therefore when 'whom' should actually be used. Can anybody help me out?

Whom is usually used with a preposition so 'with whom' and 'to whom' are the most common. This does seem to be dropping out of popular usage though!
Hope this helps
