This document provides information on the proper usage of who and whom in adjective clauses. It explains that who is used as the subject of a clause, while whom is used as the object. Some key points: - Who and whom are both pronouns, with who as the subject and whom as the object of a clause. - Most native English speakers do not use whom correctly and it is rarely heard, so using who is generally acceptable. - In adjective clauses, the relative pronoun can be the subject or object of the clause, and rules differ depending on its role.

If you simply use who, no one is going to correct you or think that you speak improper English. You may have a writing teacher that wants you to use whom, but check with them first!
