00 Does that sound formal? How wuld you improve it? 02 br

00 If I have to keep the vocabulary form the original sentence, how about, 02 br

" 02 br 02 br 00 The idea of using a list with a final or is typically better than multiple ors. However, multiple ors is not incorrect. Furthermore, this second example is poor.
- " 02 br 02 br 00 The idea of using a list with a final or is typically better than multiple ors.
- However, multiple ors is not incorrect.
- Furthermore, this second example is poor.
- It is clear that the word your MUST belong to the word country as well as to service provider, yet it cannot in this grammatical structure.
- In other words, this boils down to "depending on country", which is poor.
