Usage notes
In both written and spoken language, who is often used in place of whom, even as an object, although some prescriptivists regard such usage as incorrect. In US English, the use of whom is characteristic of a formal style and is often considered stilted in informal conversation. Usage of whom is more common in UK English, particularly after a preposition (with whom, from whom etc).
who vs. whom
