That's definitely poorly worded/structured, as it can be ambiguous to the reader if he doesn't read it as it was intended. "In the loss..." starts another clause (apart from "that results") that, at the very least, could've begun the sentence and been clearer.

So much in print these days begs the services of a decent editor (the human sort). Merely spell checking is as far as most writers and publishers go these days. Received on Thu Nov 21 2002 - 07:44:40 CST
