I got a question.
Is their actually any specific definition of the use of the word 'whom'? Or is it more implied than anything?
And, I hate the word recommend. I always manage to mis-spell it somehow.

Whom is an object, 'who' is the subjective form.

e.g., "Who are you?", "By whom were you hit?"

I don't see how they're confusing.

"Neither is a good choice"

"Either is a good choice"

One is positive, the other is negative -- very obvious.

When you type "okay" into Firefox it says it's wrong. Am I wrong or is Firefox wrong?

It doesn't really matter since it's not an actual word.

You can say:

O.K.
OK
Okay

And they're all pretty much regarded as correct.

I believe okay, O.K. and OK are defined as "idioms," which are expressions like "Hey!" and "'Sup?"
