I'm looking for the correct pronunciation of the word bury. I've heard it said berry, and I've heard it said in a way that rhymes with flurry. Webster says it's pronounced "berry," but I've heard that Webster took some liberties with the English language, and to look at the origin of the word you would think that it would rhyme with flurry.
So I'm trying to find out what the Oxford English dictionary says about it. Please don't tell me how you've always heard it, or what the Oxford American dictionary says, I'm only interested in finding out what the Oxford English pronunciation is, since I'm sure that is the most reliable. Thanks!

I would like a grammatical explanation, please do not post anything like, 'I think it's xx' or 'who = subjective & whom = objective'.

Please also do not simply post grammar websites as I asked the question because I've read through and still am confused.

In the following sentence, 'whom' is being used:

A dinner was given in honor of the man whom everyone knew would be the prospective president of the company.

Please state whether using 'whom' is correct or not, and provide grammatical reasonings to support your answer.

I know about the objective/subjective view. However, what I need to know is 'how' to analyze this sentence to know whether to use whom or who?

I would like to see an answer that explains the choice with grammatical reasonings instead of a grammar website.
