  • I’m one for ignoring grammatical ‘rules’ if I feel they obstruct what I’m trying to communicate.

    Grammarly will tend to homogenize just due to the type of tool it is and that can be at the expense of a more colourful way of communicating ideas.

    To me; “which means” would be used as part of an ongoing sentence. Whereas “This means” is the start of a new sentence.

    I’d also argue that they have slightly different intentions: “Which means” gives an air of musing on an idea, thinking on it, developing a conclusion “This means” is more defined and definite, more essay-like in stating the definition of the idea

    I’d say, use whatever you think feels more suitable for you, in the moment, to express the ideas that you’re writing. Don’t let grammatical accuracy impose artificial limitation on your expression <3
