Grammar
'That result from' versus 'resulting from"
Help!
A colleague insists that all instances of "resulting from" should be revised to "that result from."
Example: "rescues resulting from a swimmer's inexperience" or "rescues that result from a swimmer's inexperience."
Which is correct, or are they both correct? I find the "that result from" to be a bit more formal, and am generally in favor of the option that uses fewer words to convey the meaning.
Thanks!

Anonymousare they both correct?Yes. Both are correct. I don't see the point of changing all instances to "that result from". Variety can be a good thing. All of one or all of the other could make the text sound pretty repetitive, depending how often these expressions occur in the total text. You'll have to judge for yourself on that.
