    which в придаточном предложении служит для добавления дополнительной, но не главной информации. Если часть с which можно выкинуть без потери смысла, то использование which правильное. В противном случае нужно употреблять that.

    There is no word which sounds "причем" at all. There is no word - Согласись, предложения различаются по смыслу.

    Для закрепления:

    My car that is red is very fast
    My car, which is red, is very fast

    У этих предложений разный смысл. Первое имеет уточнение, что не просто какая-то твоя машина, а именно та, которая красная. То есть используется в том случае, когда у тебя больше одной машины. Во втором предложении, ты просто добавляешь немного информации про свою машину и говоришь, что она красная. То есть можно сделать вывод, что у тебя только одна машина.

    Ну и напоследок

    I do not claim that my opinion is absolutely true.
    If you've spotted any mistake in my English, please, correct it. I want to be aware of any mistakes to efficiently eliminate them before they become a habit.

    I wouldn't have spotted that Alex's use of 'which' was incorrect.
    I think I 'retune' my brain to ignore grammatical mistakes, especially from non native speakers/writers, so as not to lose the thread of what is being said. So it seems it's sometimes better to ask a Russian about English grammar...

    From now on, I will be suspicious of apparently identical words spelled with е/ё.

    Thanks both.
