>>>>> "Mark" == Mark Janssen <maniac@maniac.nl> writes: [...] Mark> This should be either: Mark> which is unnecessary... Mark> that is unnecessary... While we're already talking about this... The "which" form is incorrect. The correct version is "that is unnecessary...". From _The Elements of Style_ (Strunk and White, 4th ed) p. 59 "/That/ is the defining, or restrictive, pronoun, /which/ the nondefining, or nonrestrictive." In other words, you use "which" if you can remove that clause and it is still clear exactly what the subject is, and you use "that" if the clause helps define what the subject is. In this instance, "...is unnecessary..." defines which output we are talking about, so the correct thing to use is "that". -- Hubert Chan <hubert@uhoreg.ca> - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
