I can explain it to you...

Random linguistic survey: does this sentence sound correct: "Specifications are included in the file 'xyz', which see for additional details"?

Answer - no.
IMHO it should read:-
Specifications are included in the file 'xyz', for which see additional details...........

and point the reader to where those additional details are.

I think the additional details are in the specification file:

"Specifications are included in the file 'xyz', which contains additional details."

Sure, but like the forum the file could be ginormous, so a pointer to 'Section x' or 'Clause x' would be helpful

Does that come with rice or do I have to order that separately?

EDIT: I just used the Google translator and it says "Stop changing the thread, we were talking about cats and feathers" so I think I'll cancel that order  :doh:
