whom-

Even
though you studied it and did tests on it, ‘whom’ is not important.
As
an English speaker, I never use ‘whom’ in writing or speaking.
You
can decide what you want to do.
***
One exception to my rejection of ‘whom’
To whom it may concern,
-when you are writing a letter to an unknown recipient
e.g. You are sending letter to businesses. You do not know who
will be reading the letters. You can use “To whom it may concern,”
I sometimes use this when I write reference letters for students.
To whom it may concern,
Dear Sir or Madam,
To the admissions chair,
The woman who you were talking to seems
really nice.
who you
were talking to O S V
‘who’ is an object pronoun
Two choices:
1.We can omit an object pronoun.
The woman you
were talking to seems really nice.
2. We can use ‘whom’.
The woman whom
you were talking to seems really nice.
You can use ‘whom’ when you have an object pronoun.
In reality, English speakers don’t bother with ‘whom’. We just say
‘who’ or omit it.
This is my friend who I have known for 10 years.
This is my friend who
I have known for 10 years.
This is my friend I have known for 10 years. very
natural-sounding
This is my friend whom

‘Who’ sounds a lot better than ‘that’ for people.

You can decide what to focus on.
Playing music: I focus on the most practical chords, figures that
I use everyday. I don’t have time and energy to go down rabbitholes of musical
ideas that I will never use.
My advice is to forget about ‘whom’. We never use it. If you do
use it, you will sound like a grammar book.
