Great example of misuse of that simple word 'that'.
Should be 'which'.
- TecoAndJix 3y agoAlways learning something new[1]: "The difference between which and that depends on whether the clause is restrictive or nonrestrictive. In a restrictive clause, use that. In a nonrestrictive clause, use which. Remember, which is as disposable as a sandwich wrapper. If you can remove the clause without destroying the meaning of the sentence, the clause is nonessential (another word for nonrestrictive), and you can use which.
