Q: whichever ones you choose

whitedevilIs it grammatical to say Whichever ones you choose does not matter or do I have to say whichever ones you choose do not matter? Because "it doesn't matter whichever one you choose" is legitimate, I was curious as to the grammaticality of its un-extraposed counterpart. Also, is it gra...

Good afternoon
> The employees who have undergone training and received instructions leave their signatures in the personnel training log. (is this leave their signatures okay, I wonder. Maybe it should be just "sign")

> All actions performed during the creation of a cell bank are documented in online mode in a cell bank creation record. (I wonder if this "record" is okay. It is "route map" in Russian, but in English "route map" would look odd there)

> The cell banks that have been approved for use are moved into cryovessels for permanent storage. (since this is a general document, a Regulations document, I guess this the should be dropped)

@CowperKettle Sounds fine :-)
@snailplane Good evening! Thank you, Snails!
If you're an average male, your chances of thyroid dysfunction (hypothyroidism) are 1 in 500 (0.2%). If you have keratoconus, the chances rise to 1 in 20 (5.3%). Quite amazing. I was wondering where my hypothyroidism might have come from, and did a short search in PubMed.
That might explain it.
Basically, a keratoconic male is twice more likely to get a thyroid disease than an average woman. Usually women have a 10-fold increased chance of getting a thyroid disease compared with men.
They should set up thyroid screening for all kc patients.
I probably should have been taking a bit of supplemental hormone for years.
I wonder how to call a piece of additional documentation (sheet) to a Certificate of Analysis. I called it Supplement thus far.

Appendix might not fit, because this is a kind of passport document, this CoA.. or it may fit... okay. (0:

Q: What is the difference between "many of whose" and "many whose"?

user43908I have two examples: If you do try to discuss these new beliefs with them, many of whose minds are closed to new ideas will fight hard to keep themselves convinced and even try to change your mind back as well and If you do try to discuss these new beliefs with them, many whose minds ...

The source is unknown.
(They have only one example, though, technically.)

Hey, is this grammatical?
in The Periodic Table, 18 secs ago, by M.A.R.
YOU'RE my bot, not me your.
Or should it have been 'not me you'?
'not me, you'?
'You are my bot, not me your bot'

@DamkerngT. Doesn't ellipsis work here?
I don't even understand the sentence, now.
You're my bot. I'm not your bot. -> You're my bot, not me/I your bot -> You're my bot, not me/I your.
So I prolly should've used nominative?
It prolly looks even more confusing now.
Cowper can prolly answer. He's done more poetry than us both
I think these are okay with me: You're X, not me. You're my X, not I'm your X. You're my X, not I'm yours. You're my X, not me being yours.
@DamkerngT. O.o to the third
I think You're my X. I'm not yours. probably is the best alternative.

@CowperKettle "List of Appendices" is correct if it is about a document.
> The correct plural of appendix depends on the circumstances. When referring to the text at the end of a book or article, the plural is appendices. In the sense of the organ, appendixes is the only plural.
@CowperKettle oh I know that guy. He makes bad jokes.

Whichever ones you choose don't/doesn't matter reminds me of a note in CGEL. Unfortunately, I can't recall on what page it is.
