FOWLER'S MODERN ENGLISH USAGE 3RD ED states that a clause beginning "and which" must have the same grammatical value as the first "which" clause.
i don't know what this mean, but Fow gave this example of a MISmatched "and which" clause:
"His writing has a childlike quality WHICH is appropirate, given that...AND WHICH i find endearing" (This is an approximate rendering, because i don't have the book with me)
Can some kind forum member explain what is wrong with the above sentence
Thank you
