KaoriFan Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 i would say 'who suggests' as well being the correct usage.. 'whom' would be used in the case of 'of whom are you speaking' et al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 who suggested that this term is.... I agree. I would you use 'whom' as a more collective term ie: a group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
