Re: elongated double space

I confess I'm with Herb on this one, though. UK English tends to favor "which" even for restrictive clauses, but it always sounds very stilted to me. The only time I'll use "which" is when there's ambiguity about whether the clause is restrictive or not.

If I found you changing my "which"es to "that"s, I wouldn't hire you a
second time!

The "rule" that restrictive relatives must have "that" is a completely
fabricated invention.
