Good grammar and all that. AIUI, you'd be wrong to suggest that. "That" following a noun is only incorrect grammar if there's a comma between the preceding noun and the word "that". E.g.: ACCEPTABLE: The dog, which had bitten my leg the week previously, turned out to have rabies. ACCEPTABLE: The dog which had bitten my leg the week previously turned out to have rabies. ACCEPTABLE: The dog that had bitten my leg the week previously turned out to have rabies. NONSTANDARD: The dog, that had bitten my leg the week previously, turned out to have rabies. -- G.
