This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

i know it's not the point of the post, but people that use "which" incorrectly like this really grinds my gears
in which, to which, etc. it isn't that hard
Can you elaborate on the issue to which you are referring?
It seems correct? Like "for which I will have no response" and "which I will have no response for." It's not even Yodafied. It's just a mildly complicated construction.
i get what he's trying to say, it's just phrased poorly and misusing "to which". it seems like someone trying, and failing, to sound smart.
one way to see if you should use "which", "to which" or "for which" is to put the preposition at the end and see if that sounds like something an actual human speaker of the language would say (yes, it's technically grammatically incorrect to put a preposition at the end of a sentence, but whatever)
i.e.
rephrasing it
