	Nestor  +  36109 Tue, 06 Jul 04 03:10 PM Renwar3000- I don't really understand what you mean by 'inside a world phenomenon'. I'd stick with "Drugs are a global phenomenon" or "Drug use is a global phenomenon." Nestor Nestor Joined on Mon, Mar 29 2004 Greensboro, North Carolina, US Junior Member 70

	renwar3000  +  36121 Tue, 06 Jul 04 04:58 PM It is originally the address of a book called [Terrorism Inside a world phenomenon] by Barry Davies BEM, I also don't understand why the name is so complicated! renwar3000

	Nestor  +  36142 Tue, 06 Jul 04 06:50 PM Renwar3000- I understand. The title actually has two parts--the proper title of the book ("Terrorism") and a subtitle ("Inside a World Phenomenon"). If punctuated with a colon, the title would make more sense--"Terrorism: Inside a World Phenomenon". Anything that comes after a colon in a sentence clarifies what came before the colon, and the same holds true for titles. It follows that if you were writing a book about drugs, you might call it "Drugs: A Global Phenomenon" or "Drugs: Inside a World Phenomenon." But if you simply want to write a sentence about drugs, 'inside a world phenomenon' doesn't make sense the way you wrote it. Nestor Nestor Colons
