Dear all,
I have a question. I know that we use "which" for animate subjects and "who" for the inanimate ones in relative clauses. However, recently I've come across quite a few instances of "[sisters/brothers/people] both/neither of which" and I'd like an EXPERT opinion on whether this is acceptable. Is this kind of similar to "which of you" referring to people when choosing from a group of individuals?
Thanks a lot in advance.
