Your E-Prime example reads a lot better and clearer than the book's[1]. :-) Thank you anew!

[1] The book from which I have taken all the excerpts so far, English for Business - A functional approach, 2nd Edition, ISBN # 0-8264-5857-2. Printed in UK.

Don't let a spammer's advertisement ruin it. I just don't even read their ads; they usually contain a lot of "is of predication" together with a lot of "is of identity". That alone turns me off. We can simply ignore them.

Shall we proceed with the challenge?
