Ah, another Micrsoft victim! Ignore that bastard: it's got a
more-American-than-the-Americans thing about "that". I don't actually
think this which-that choice is something which (see that one? it
could have been a "that") adult native speakers of English actually
get wrong, which (see that one? it could NOT have been a "that") is
nice.
