Sola Catella Oh, er, sorry. I temporarily forgot that not everyone takes Latin (the language has five noun and pronoun case endings to English's two for pronouns only, so you tend to rack up very detailed knowledge on technical terms for cases). As CCS said, use 'who' where you'd use 'I' and 'whom' where you'd use 'me.'
I must admit, five semesters of Latin made English much more understandable to me. This is especially true for subject vs. direct object and for subordinate clauses.
That said: Who/Whoever = subject, Whom/Whomever = direct object
Also, there was an above post in this tread about throwing useless words on the end of sentences, like "to". My biggest pet peeve is when "at" is thrown on, as it is done so often. Even on the news, now, anchors are doing this, which is starting to make me mourn for the intelligence of the nation.

Yeah, but whom isn't just accusative case. In English, accusative, genitive, dative, and ablative are all glommed up together in the objective case. That means that things like indirect objects, objects of prepositions, and the like are also all for whom.
