I'm not, I just don't care about the opinion of using who or whom.
Reeeee it's not an opinion!
"To whom is the object applied?"; do you recall these words? I do, and I also no longer care.
You're right, it's not an opinion. I know you think you're not smart enough to learn the difference between the two words, but I think you may be selling yourself short.
And no, I don't recall that weird sentence.
For you it appears to be one, since you still haven't defined it as an object.
A material object is different than an object in English grammar. In an English sentence the object is usually the target of a verb. The object is the thing being acted upon.
The subject of a sentence is the actor. The one that interacts with the object in some way.
Examples:
"Roy loves happiness." Roy is the subject and happiness is the object. Who loved happiness.
"Sally ran away." Sally is the subject and there is no object. Who Ran away?
"Roy shot Sally in the face." Roy is the subject and Sally is the subject. Who shot whom?
"Sally rose from the dead in front of Roy." Sally is the subject and Roy is the object. Who rose from the dead in front of whom?
"Roy saw Sally rise from the dead." Roy is the subject and Sally is the object. Who saw whom rise from the dead?
