Use this //he/him// method to decide whether //who// or //whom// is correct: he = who

him = whom **//Examples://**

//**Who**/Whom wrote the letter?//

He wrote the letter. Therefore, //who// is correct.

//Who/**Whom** should I vote for?//

//Should I vote for him?// Therefore, //whom// is correct.

//We all know **who**/whom pulled that prank.//

This sentence contains two clauses: //we all know// and //who/whom pulled that prank.// We are interested in the second clause because it contains the //who/whom//. //He// pulled that prank. Therefore, //who// is correct.

//We wondered who/**whom** the book was about.//

This sentence contains two clauses: //we wondered// and //who/whom the book was about//. Again, we are interested in the second clause because it contains the //who/whom//. The book was about //him//. Therefore, //whom// is correct. **Note:** This rule is compromised by an odd infatuation people have with //whom//—and not for good reasons. At its worst, the use of //whom// becomes a form of one-upmanship some employ to appear sophisticated. The following is an example of the pseudo-sophisticated //whom//. //**Incorrect:** a woman whom I think is a genius// In this case //whom// is not the object of //I think//. Put //I think// at the end and witness the folly: //a woman whom is a genius, I think.// //**Correct:** a woman **who** I think is a genius//
