Grammar
Conjunction
One noted economist has compared the Federal Reserve to an automobile racing through a tunnel, bouncing
first off one wall, then the other; the car may get where it is going, but people may be hurt in the process.
Should n't the modifier be "racing through a tunnel, and bouncing first off one wall, then the other"?
Why is AND not used?
Please clarify
