Grammar belongs in the realm of habit--learned to the point where we are unconscious in our use of it, as we learned it in childhood. Thus to require a choice between 'who' and 'whom' at the beginning of a sentence or between 'I' and 'me' after 'be' or 'than' or 'as' is to invite a centipede to attend to the sequence of his legs in motion.
