i can't hear the diff tween two and too, but i can hear it between to and too which is why it bothers me. cuz there's an obvious difference between too and to. ok maybe not so obvious but i hear differences in everything.

Use the he/him method to decide which word is correct.
he = who
him = whom

Examples: Who/Whom wrote the letter?
He wrote the letter. Therefore, who is correct.
 
For who/whom should I vote?
Should I vote for him? Therefore, whom is correct.
 
We all know who/whom pulled that prank.
This sentence contains two clauses: We all know and who/whom pulled that prank. We are interested in the second clause because it contains the who/whom. He pulled that prank. Therefore, who is correct. (Are you starting to sound like a hooting owl yet?)

We want to know on who/whom the prank was pulled.
This sentence contains two clauses: We want to know and the prank was pulled on who/whom. Again, we are interested in the second clause because it contains the who/whom. The prank was pulled on him. Therefore, whom is correct.

Oh my GOD.  I was seriously talking about the difference between who and whom about nine hours ago.  And the same analogy (he/him) was used.

You may just be right there,
though I presume that different
regions might not have those
differences. There's often a
shortening of 'to', sometimes
so extreme as t'eliminate the
vowel sound entirely.

Just wanted to resurrect this thread because it is interesting, I learnt about who/whom and recently I got stuck on the words while and whilst when I was writing an essay. I can't remember what one I used in the end.

Today I saw a sign that said Corona's when it should have been Coronas but that is punctuation. I am going to have to take photos of all these misplaced apostrophes around town some day.
