		<description>Hi, Lin.

You're correct that you would use "whose" to talk about a company. English doesn't have a possessive form of "that." 

Here's a link to a show I did about "who" versus "that." It's mostly about how you shouldn't use "that" to refer to people, but there is a short section about using "whose" to refer to inanimate objects: http://is.gd/Qqg</description>

		<description>Hi, Lin.

"Which" versus "that" is a very common question.

The general rule is to use "that" for restrictive clauses (clauses that change the meaning of a sentence) and "which" for non-restrictive clauses (clauses that don't change the meaning of the sentence).

Here's a link to a show I did about this topic: http://is.gd/QpZ</description>

		<description>Hi, Kelly.

"i.e." and "e.g." are abbreviations for Latin terms.

"I.e." means "for example, and "i.e." roughly means "in other words" or "in essence."

For more details you can see the show I did about the topic last year: http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/ie-eg-oh-my.aspx</description>

		<description>What about "whose"? E.g., a company whose policy is discriminatory. Which's? lol! Rewrite to avoid the conundrum?</description>

		<description>When it is appropriate to use which and when it is appropriate to use that?  I always have to think about it when I am using those words in a sentence.  In some cases are they interchangable?</description>
