That looks fine to this NSoE. > OTOH, I think "Banja Luka, in Republika Sprska, Bosnia and > Herzegovina" is correct. There shouldn't be any parenthesis. Justin is explicitly *not* saying that formulation is incorrect. He's saying it makes for ambiguous grammar when used in a sentence. It's “brittle”, if you like, because it breaks in so many common cases. Is that another, also correct, formulation that doesn't have all those commas, “and”, “in”, and so on? > You don't say "Chicago, Illinois (U.S.A.)". Because that phrase has no grammar-altering parts to it. -- \ “Visitors are expected to complain at the office between the | `\ hours of 9 and 11 a.m. daily.” —hotel, Athens | _o__) | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
