Hello!

Is this sentence well-structured?

Although the company XXXX ranks only in the 8th place in terms of a spontaneous awareness, in terms of a direct a direct awareness it ranks already in the 3rd place.

I assume that the doubling of "a direct" is a typo. "only in eighth place" (no article before the numeric rank, spell small numbers) "already" is a temporal word; it's misplaced here. I don't know what spontaneous and direct awarenesses are, but I suspect they don't take a preceding article.

  • I assume that the doubling of "a direct" is a typo.
  • "only in eighth place" (no article before the numeric rank, spell small numbers) "already" is a temporal word; it's misplaced here.

  • If you don't need "in terms of" for spontaneity, you don't need it for directness.
