0 I've never heard the word 01i 00"whomever"02i 00 before. So I guess it's right to say 01i 00"wh01b 00oe02b 00ver"02i 00 (this is just my opion). 02br 00I always thought that 01i 00"whom"02i 00 has become out-of-date.

0'Whoever'. The pronoun takes the same case as the subject ('he') because the verb is the copula ('be').02br

00PS: 'Whom' is not quite out of date yet; people are just forgetting to say it sometimes.0-
