AS a young man my mother read to me Rudyard Kipling's 'IF' on a regular basis.
I have carried on this tradition with my own sons and am very familiar with this piece of literature.
However I am currently having a debate with my friend whom insists that the ending of the verse 'And WHICH is more' is grammatically incorrect as she feels the word should be 'And WHAT is more'.
My thoughts are that using the word WHICH as opposed to WHAT Rudyard Kipling was asking the reader to evaluate the previous passages, as they would all carry equal value as regards to the final conclusion of the verse.
It would be appreciated if you could send me your thoughts (email or write to us at the Reporter) and allow me to close this matter.
