[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately, there's no hard and fast rule. Sometimes it's required, sometimes it's optional. Context matters. In your example, it's optional, but I would keep it in. If you are editing something with a group, it's probably in a work context, so I'd err on the side of being more formal and leaving it in. Detailed explanation here: https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/articles/when-to-delete-that/[/quote] Understood. Fwiw, I’ve been listening to people debate this so much that I can’t decide where I land on the matter. Honestly, the inclusion of “that” when it’s optional rather than required almost seems less formal/less polished when reading aloud. It sounds more technical than refined. [/quote] NP. Including “that” is completely fine. I honestly want to know what you do for a living where multiple people are sitting around wringing their hands about this issue.[/quote]
