We are discussing a simple, four-word sentence.

"Which doubtlessly is why."

Poor attempt at post-editing in a failed attempt to further obfuscate.


I take back what I said, Neal. While the third grader would probably not
have recognized that your four words are part of a dependent clause
introduced the relative pronoun "which," the third grader would at least
have gone you one better by recognizing that your four words do not
constitute a sentence.

Do a little googling of "clause" and "sentence" and maybe you can start to
get this grammar stuff sorted out.

Sorry, but you're just plain wrong, Dave. All it takes to make a complete
sentence is a subject and a verb.

"Which is doubtlessly why." This is a complete sentence.

"Which is why." This is a complete sentence.

"Why me?" This is also a complete sentence.

"That is." This, too, is a complete sentence.

"Which is?" Same applies here - complete sentence.

Go to the back of the class! Don't forget the dunce cap.
