Who or Whom? which would be correct?

[samintx]

you will see me on occasions visiting some of your residents who I consider friends

Whom seems right but WORD doesn't correct the grammer so maybe WHO is correct.

Whom or that I


Spell checkers are not the equivalent of a fourth grade ruler wielding grammarian / dominatrix .

I like "that I". thanks for the advice. Whom sounded right to me but THAT I sounds better!

I think whom.....'that I' (I think would refer more to objects - not people. i.e. 'the books that I enjoyed' though I'm no english expert).....

[cbelt3]

Oog... Newt is correct. The backs of my hands are itching, expecting that ruler. The ones with the holes would whistle as they approached my hands.

If not preceded by a comma, who introduces a restrictive clause and is correct.

If there were a comma preceding, whom would introduce a parenthetical clause, in which it would be the object.

Is this rule simply a convention, or does serve a useful function? (I'm not trying to be a smart---, just wondering)

I think "occasions" should be "occasion". Unless you mean you visit during specific events.

Whom is correct. Use "who" when it's the subject of a sentence or clause, "whom" when it is an object (of a verb or preposition).
