question on adjective and one more
Hi,
I don't particularly care about the content of the phrase below but to ask you a question, I have written it.
They spend their lives on concrete, slatted metal, or wire mesh floors.
The only form I am uncomfortable seeing is "slatted metal". Could one have written it differently?
Also, Is this correct?
... call for a combined results and discussion.

Slatted metal is fine. - -> delete the indefinite article ("a") It is hard to determine if it this phrase would be correct in a larger context, though.
