The space seems appropriate to us only for a restaurant, because that is what it has always been, but landmark designation never specifies use.  The designation controls only the space and non-movables.   Theoretically, another business could take over that space.

I hope Wilfrid reads the entry on "that/which".

 
Why, do I get that wrong a lot?
 

 


No, you get it wrong ALWAYS.

(You don't like using "that".) (I did read somewhere that British usage is looser on this than American.)

I read recently that it may have been Fowler himself who made the distinction in the first place.

Americans who know how to think do.

I think there may be as many as seven of us.

And the rest think we are making a mistake when we do so.
