...between "what" and "which"?
In the past month I've seen so many threads titled:
"what artist got you into trance music?"
"what country has the hottest women?"
"which time do you get up for work?"
etcetera. |

Add to this thread people who say:
"I got bit by x animal"
and
"I jumped off of the roof" or "got drunk off of beer". |

Believe it or not, I don't believe that's actually incorrect. 'What' is usually for open-ended questions, while 'which' is more for multiple choice type-questions [ones you have a choice in].
It just looks weird, is all. |

I don't know the rules, and I don't really know when something sounds right/wrong either. But, I'm a foreigner, so I can get away with it :p |
