00 I'm editing an article. My co-author wrote: " 01 i 00 The city, located 01 b 00 on 02 b 00 the south-eastern part of the island, is ... 02 i 00 " but my ears keep telling me it should be: " 01 i 00 The city, located 01 b 00 in 02 b 00 the south-eastern part of the island, is ... 02 i 00 " 02 br
02 br
00 I tried looking " 05 1 00 " up in a dictionary and googling ... both weren't really useful! 02 br
00 Could somebody help me? I'm interested in formal American English this time. 02 br

00 Many thanks! 02 br
