Is the second sentence the better choice, or it may be that the first sentence is really wrong?http://www.englishforums.com/English/SeparateSets/vvd/post.htmMon, 23 Jun 2003 06:02:14 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:1227mainframeI am writing a memo and here's my first sentence: Access to the system is through a logonid and a password. Could I use any of these for my second sentence? 1. Operations, Technical Support and Network each use a separate set of logonid and password. 2. Separate sets of logonids and passwords are used by Operations, Technical Support and Network. I wish you could give me a model structure for this type of sentence.http://www.englishforums.com/English/UsageCommaGuestTharabg/2/cqc/Post.htm#1031Thu, 19 Jun 2003 01:33:53 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:1031mainframehehehehe!

Now as my final question on this topic, would you consider this sentence also acceptable? Computer peripherals can include printers, tape drives, disk drives, consoles, and mice and keyboards.http://www.englishforums.com/English/AccessToOrAccessOn/dzr/post.htm#1021Thu, 19 Jun 2003 00:35:35 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:1021mainframeAn external audit group found holes in our computer security, and they are requesting the IT group to fix these. I have verified the lapses, so I am now proposing to "limit update access...".http://www.englishforums.com/English/AccessToOrAccessOn/dzr/post.htm#1018Thu, 19 Jun 2003 00:22:17 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:1018mainframeThe term "limit update access" is a computer audit terminology. The third suggestion fits well into my documentation. Thanks a lot.http://www.englishforums.com/English/UsageCommaGuestTharabg/2/cqc/Post.htm#1017Thu, 19 Jun 2003 00:15:18 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:1017mainframeMy intention is to list all the peripherals, while putting similar items into groups. "Mice" and keyboards belong to the same input device class. Tape drives and disk drives belong to the same input/output device class. Printers have a separate output class. Consoles belong to another class of output device.http://www.englishforums.com/English/UsageCommaGuestTharabg/cqc/post.htm#953Wed, 18 Jun 2003 04:08:31 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:953mainframeI'm also troubled when choosing between these sentences: 1. Computer peripherals may include printers, mouse and keyboards, tape and disk drives, and consoles. 2. Computer peripherals may include printers, mouse and keyboards, tape and disk drives and consoles.http://www.englishforums.com/English/AccessToOrAccessOn/dzr/post.htmWed, 18 Jun 2003 03:52:27 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:952mainframeWhich of these two sentences could best appear in my documentation: 1. We should limit update access to all system files to the System Programmers only. 2. We should limit update access on all system files to the System Programmers only. I'll appreciate if you could make any other corrections (I'm not a native English speaker).
