Grammar
Pesky prepositions
I hope somebody can help me with this. Is it "requirement for" or "requirement of"? And what's the deal on "under the condition that" and "on the condition that"? Plus, which is more correct: "on condition they do so-and-so" or "on the condition that they do so-and-so"?
Oh, and one last thing - please read the following sentence.
Authors who fail to adhere to this condition will be charged all costs which the journal incurs.
I think 'which' should be removed so that the sentence reads: Authors who fail to adhere to this condition will be charged all costs the journal incurs.
Any suggestions? I'm a copyeditor by the way; or rather, I was for the last 10 months but got promoted to Prepress Team Developer 3 weeks ago.
I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks.
