Not a puzzle, just a knowledge test.
What's the difference between the meaning of these two sentences?
1. The cars that are green are crossing the bridge.
2. The cars which are green are crossing the bridge.

You lot are useless. That's over a week and no responses.
Okay, clue.
One is a filter and one is a descriptor.
Do you even know what those words mean?

Yeah, funny how you got it after I told you. Indeed. Yes, you are the only source of grammatical knowledge in the known universe, and, for over a week, legions of us have been gnashing our teeth and rending our garments because we have been tormented by this riddle that defied our feeble efforts to untangle. There has been a marked drop in GDP output in the English-speaking world. Some have secretly suspected a Russian plot to be behind it all. And then you come back around and give us the key to the Codex; like Prometheus, you offer rhetorical fire with which we may challenge the gods themselves. Only I step forward, though, doomed to get scorched by this gift I am too primitive to comprehend, too enamored of the vainglorious pursuit to recognize my own patheticness. Nah, JK...I didn't see it before. |

Wage rises my arse, now we know why Dow Jones crashed. Anyway, I should point out that the punctuation in sentence 2 is deliberately wrong to throw you off the scent. It should have commas around the 'which' clause because it can be separated from the main sentence without the main sentence becoming wrong. In sentence 1, if you remove the 'that' part, the sentence becomes wrong. |

I wish I’d seen this before, I did know. Now I can’t prove it. I hate you.
