Can someone explain the difference between "who" and "whom" and how to use them correctly?

if in doubt, use who.

Hipsters try to use words such as 'whom' to sound cultured. In fact, they mostly sound like idiots.

it's not about being a hipster and using it to sound sophisticated, I'm geniounly curious.

Who is asking dumb questions? To whom should I complain about this fag?

Easy.

Nominative: Who
Accusative: Whom

you use who in sentences like: "the train goes WHOWHO!"

whom in sentences like: "the sexual breading scream of an deer goes WHOMWHOM"

thank me later bro!

Replace it in the sentence with he or him. If he works it's who if him works it whom.

1) Give it to (him) whom?
2) (He) Who gave it to you?

Actually not accusative, more like oblique case

"Whom," generally refers to someone unknown in a polite context in third person. For instance, if a secretary picked up a call from a stranger, they would generally ask "whom" they are speaking to in third person, but would ask "who am I speaking to?" In first person. That being said, it is rarely used because of the niche circumstances it doesn't sound weird in.

didn't mean to imply that.

was basically saying, it's unimportant unless you're writing an official letter...then again, the grammar is often not noted. I write a lot of letters, often while drunk, and the replies I get suggest the respondent was also drunk.

basic summary.
Examples helped me learn the difference with most grammar. I particually hate the English language.
