You are correct. I'm no grammarian, but I believe I do relatively well and I don't think anyone would dispute my advice on learning to write well.
However, the rules of grammar change over time. Usage of who versus whom is a case which could go either way. There is the proper usage and then there is the popular usage. I hardly ever hear the word "whom" being used and I don't use the word because I feel weird saying it. The fewer people using that word, the less important it becomes as a rule of grammar.
