Who or whom
Hello,
If the antecedent which refers to persons is the object in the relative clause, can I use "who"? I think I should use "whom", but a grammar book (not written by a native speaker) says "who" is fine.
Let's see some examples:
I didn't know any of the girls who Bill invited to his party.
The woman who I saw in the park was feeding the pigeons.
The person who I admire most is my father.
I think I should use "whom" for all of them. What do you think?
Thanks a lot.

You can if you wish, though it's somewhat more formal than "who", which would probably be most people's choice in everyday informal conversation..
