So, Grammarly is correcting me a lot on a phrase I tend to use, and I don’t entirely understand the difference.
On a sentence that expands upon a previous sentence in dialog, I tend to have a character say “Which means […]”
Grammarly wants to fix this to be “This means […]”
It’s become clear to me that I tend to use ‘which’ instead of ‘this’ when speaking, but I am not sure why one is preferred use over the other.
Can anyone offer me some insight? I already tried googling “which vs this”, but I got results for “which vs that” instead, which is an entirely different use case.
You are correct. However, I’m also doing it as part of dialog, so how a character speaks will be a factor going forward.
I think I am going to split this, characters with a more formal speaking style are going to ‘this’ and more casual characters are going to use ‘which’.
