Which W-word should I use? Which, whom, ...
Hello,
I have 2 sentences, which gives me problems to determine the W-word to use:
Number of visitors whom have seen x pages
Number of returning visitors whom came back x times
I think it might be better to use "which" what do you think?
Thanks in advance

Actually, 'who' would have been more appropriate. 'Whom' is more suitable for reference to objects. " 'Whom' is dwindling in usage, though.

Actually, 'who' would have been more appropriate. 'Whom' is more suitable for reference to objects. Like "For whom is this pen?", and "The table was vandalised by John whom I have a dislike for."
'Whom' is dwindling in usage, though. So, the sentences above could be replaced by 'who'.
