I don't know when do you?
Personally, I use who when who is the right word to say. I also use who when whom is the right word to say.
I don't like whom. I would prefer to butcher the English language and just say who.

Who needs a verb. Use 'whom' when the verb belongs to another noun/pronoun.

you use whom when you would answer the question with them. and who when the answer would be they.

i.e. who did this? they did
whom should i call? you should call them.

nominative vs objective

"For who the bell tolls" just doesn't sound right...

Is this correct?

"are you able to let me know where or to whom I need to direct this request to?"


it sounds awkward, but also I'm not even sure if it is gramatically correct.

The last "to" makes it redundant. Take it off.

how about:

"please let me know where or to whom I should direct this request."

that sounds fine
