Anne, I raised this issue on the phone meeting yesterday, and it was explained to me that I was reading the sentence wrong; "appropriate" was meant to be paired with "possible." The verb "is" was then inserted into the language to make it clearer: "Write as simply...as is appropriate for the site's content." The sentence as it is now worded is grammatical and its meaning seems clear. (I think it's just that those of us in the working group, who have read the sentence four thousand times, are likely to overlook the presence of the new "is".) [insert joke about "that depends on the meaning of the word 'is'" here] jo At 6:32 -0400 8/10/01, Anne Pemberton wrote: >In the following, the word should be "appropriately" instead of >appropriate.
