You should be a tutor, instead of lazing around!

For those who object that subjects and objects are not their subject, there is an even easier way to get this right: if you can replace the "who" or "whom" with "he/she/they" then it should be "who"; if you can replace it with "him/her/them" then you want "whom". The bell tolls for him/her/them, so it's "whom"; he/she/they don't know the difference, so it's "who".

Is "For Whom the Bell Tolls" correct?  Is this the correct usage of "whom?"
