"He makes friends easily with *whoever/whomever* he meets."
I know that "whoever" and "whomever" are both correct. But I want to know that which word is more commonly used in American and British English? Azar's grammar book says "whomever" is rare and extremely formal in American English, and you should use "whoever" (NOT whomever) when you need an object in British. Is that true? I think "whomever" is OK in British English. Am I right? Thanks!
