I'd appreciate it if you could help me with the second sentence.
"While 88% of Swedish people speak a foreign language (usually English), only about 20% of British people speak one ( still mainly French). This means that now that it is possible for EU citizens to work anywhere within the EU, Europeans who speak good English (of which there are millions) can easily find jobs in the UK and Ireland, but it is impossible for British or Irish people to do the same unless they are in the small minority of people who speak another language. "
It says "of which there are millions," and it seems that the part means "there are millions of Europeans who speak good English." Could you tell me if it is all right to use the relative pronoun "which" to refer to people. I've been wondering why it isn't "of whom there are millions" instead of "of which there are millions"?
Thank you very much.
