Thank you so much and then which means students can receive both high school and college credit for the same course here is a defining relative clause or non-defining relative clause?
I think that it should be a non-defining relative clause.
What do you think?

And then how about this one, "She knows 'merci beaucoup,' meaning thank you very much in French."?
Is the sentence wrong? Should it be "She knows 'merci beaucoup,' which means thank you very much in French."?
Anyhow, there is no meaning difference between the two sentences, right?
What do you think? Thank you so much again.
