Thanks, that should be easy to remember.

I have the feeling that I do not see that often people using whom, is 
that so or is that because I mainly talk to people for whom it is a 
second language?

Was it the not the nine o'clock news where they had a sketch about a 
student handing in the same paper over and over that turned out to be 
about who/whom? It must be on youtube, but how to find it?

And the sketch about 2 pilots that crashed in Antarctica and one ate the 
other. The final defence (after some lame excuses about penguins) when 
interrogated for murder was that the guy wanted it that way and not the 
other way around, because he was a vegetarian. (though this could very 
well be fry and laurie)
