Re: Confusing Which
You're right; this usage of "which" goes beyond the bounds of what GMAC has actually allowed.
To date, GMAC has only used "which" in two ways, described here:
post104933.html#p104933
Technically, this example could be construed as #2 of those usages"”"”with a huge compound noun (xxxxxxxxx and yyyyyyy) as the second noun.
However, GMAC has never done anything remotely like this, so you are right to be suspicious.
