Does the order of words matter in this case?
For example, "When you're ready, go in to the kitchen during business hours, and turn on the stove." "When you're ready, go in to the kitchen and turn on the stove during business hours." Are both of these okay? Does the order matter? Thanks

Anon,
There is problem with this sentence. First of all, you need to decide what you want to get across. None sounds logical. "When you are ready" and " during business hours " are bother adverbial phrases, however conflicting each other in this sentence. So which one do you want to tell me, if I were the one to go to the kitchen to turn on the stove?
