Who/whom error in the quiz question

Question

One of the questions asked to translate "Who are you watching like that?" into French.The grammatically correct English question would be "Whom are you watching like that?"

Accepted Answer

Very rare in some parts of the English-speaking world to hear 'whom' used in any situation, especially a question like this one.

Answer

I agree. This is a written question and the more formal "whom" should be used, not the oral "who."
