Perhaps "Some > examples of valid flows in a left-to-right, horizontal writing > mode document (such as found in the English language):" Hi Addison, While I'm not adamant about the position, I do tend to prefer examples to be more concrete than abstract, since I think that helps readers relate more closely to what's happening. This is why the writing mode is listed in a parenthetical rather than the other way around. I don't object to changing if i18n feels that is less helpful than the other way around, though. Let me know what you think~ ~fantasai
