Who do you admire, he or him? You admire him. 'Whom' is the correct option.

— Goronsky

  • Who do you admire, he or him?
  • You admire him.
  • 'Whom' is the correct option.
  • If you can substitute 'him' in the clause, 'whom' is correct; if you can substitute 'he', 'who' is correct.
  • This is the easiest way I can explain it.

Be advised, though, that the use of 'whom' sounds stilted by many authorities. The use of 'who' is now being accepted as the one-size-fits-all alternative. I disagree with this, however.

And that appears very strange to me.

You disagree that this usage is being accepted? But it was you who said it was.
