Should I take out the commas in ", at least in part,"? Thanks, Sextus Sextus Joined on Sat, Nov 6 2004 Buenos Aires Regular Member 731 Commas

	davkett  +  182302 Thu, 12 Jan 06 10:54 PM I find the sequence 'explain why, although' somewhat awkward, and the whole sentence a bit patched together. One option-- "This would explain, at least in part, why S., usually expressing himself in a clearly Skeptical way, occasionally is less careful, thus misleading." davkett Joined on Tue, Jun 7 2005 Pennsylvania, USA Senior Member 2,788 "The rose stays fresh in its name..." -Bernard of Morlay

	davkett  +  182343 Fri, 13 Jan 06 01:05 AM MrP, I thought of those, too, but hestiated because I felt  'occasionally does so'  might sound like  'occasionally expresses himself in a clearly Skeptical way less carefully, and misleadingly'. davkett
