Antonija  +  457915 Fri, 28 Dec 07 06:07 PM Which one should I use when I list things: "IT CONSISTS OF X, Y, Z AND OTHER" (meaning other components)? Thank you Antonija Joined on Sun, Mar 5 2006 Croatia Contributing Member 1,417

	Clive  +  457926 Fri, 28 Dec 07 06:30 PM Hi, Generally speaking, 'others'. But I think the syntax depends on the context. It's a matter of 'how it sounds'. eg The guests at the party consisted of John, Mary, Tom and others. (even here, I'd prefer to say 'other people')  eg The furniture in the room consisted of a sofa, a coffee table, a bookcase and other items.
