re What is wrong with this sentence?

["nosnivel -at- netvision -dot- net -dot- il" <nosnivel -at- netvision -dot- net -dot- il>]

> "ABC provides the XYZ interface using which you can 
> create folders for storing your personal card information."

This is the sort of sentence for which the grammar
police stop you, check your papers, and let you off
with a stern warning.  There's nothing ungrammatical 
about it, but the use of "using" looks a bit as if you 
thought "using" is a preposition.  ("By which,"
"through which," "using which".)  The appearance
of "storing" a few words later, its spelling constructed
similarly but its grammatical role entirely different,
adds to the air of confusion.
