Grammar

in that/because. is there really a difference?

Hello.

Thanks for your offer to give us the villa for the weekend...but

This is unfortunate IN THAT we have to leave now.
This is unfortunate BECAUSE we have to leave now.

Which is correct?

Is there really a difference between "in that" and "because"?

Thanks.

Hi, 'In that' sounds more formal and more elegant. It will also make you seem more educated. Clive
