Nested Modifying Phrases
Bill Johnson and Greg Jones, founders and owners of Johnson & Jones, which is one of the largest direct response television companies, have personally invested in Hill
International.
My question is it seems like there are nested modifying phrases, is this allowed?
So basically we have (founders and owners of Johnson & Jones) as a modifying phrase to Bill Johnson and Greg Jones with the comma starting the modifying then within that modyifying phrase we have another modyfying phrase being applied to Johnson & Jones, that modyfying phrase is (which is one of the largest direct response television companies) my question is can you have nested modifying phrases and if so can you use commas to begin both of the modyfing phrases
