Good point.

Or should this have been explained elsewhere, prior to this chapter?  (For 
example in Modification which precedes it?

Yes, Canadians tend to use 'that' for restrictive relative clauses and I've 
always been fairly bad about distinguishing them overall.  Thanks for all the 
grammatical corrections; I'd assumed that I'd tidy up grammar once people had 
agreed to the concepts, but that still should not be an excuse.
