@Setanta,
Quote:Although people have become rather casual about such things, mere courtesy suggests that you use whom, rather than which, as your father is a person, rather than a thing.
The problem is not that
people have become casual. That's unmitigated drivel. The problem is that there are people who try to give advice about language when they don't know much about how it works.
'which' sees use in English for people when the referent is rather general.
Both 'which' and 'whom' work just fine.
