Would you two mind taking this discussion elsewhere?
It is completely off topic and it is very unlikely that it is helpful to the
OP. You Ms. Barnhill are only feeding a troll which you claim you do not
do, and bloating your post numbers. Don't you think that it will be harder
for the folks at Microsoft at review time, since your posting numbers will
be artificially inflated with these back and forth post with Peter and
finding quality example of your helpful threads for the PG to look at will
be harder. Sort of like when you answer questions that have already been
answered.
As for what is right or wrong in this case I don't know and certainly don't
care. What we all do know is that even if Peter losses the argument he
will simply stops arguing - he never ever concedes that he is wrong.
Thank you.

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.

My clients trust my advice, but they don't always follow it--and
drafts often go through a dozen or more contributors. So, when I
receive drafts, I
change "spacespace" into "space", change incorrect whiches to
thats, and fix other stuff they might be inclined to ignore or
change back. And THEN I turn tracking on. ;-)

Thank goodness my clients trust my advice (but then I'm an editor
and not
a developer).

Yes. Several of my clients want two spaces after periods and the
paying client has the last word.
This says it all! I have a client who insists on two spaces between
sentences too. Even if I don't agree I'm paid to do what they want.

Is there a reason for typing two spaces after a sentence?-

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the
strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them
better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly...who knows
the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a
worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while
daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and
timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat." - TR
