| | Clarification request(s) and responsedavidgreen (asker): 9:07am Dec 20, 2004: commas - what's the rule with commas before "which"?? My MS Word spellchecker/grammar checker is most certainly wrong (suggests them every time before "which")
Richard Benham: 9:53am Dec 20, 2004: Hello. I have included a statement of the generally accepted rule as a note to my question. -
Richard Benham: 1:39pm Dec 20, 2004: OOPS. Sorry. All that typing went to waste! I'll see if I can find the URL for a previous discussion of the topic. -
Richard Benham: 1:46pm Dec 20, 2004: Here is the URL:http://www.proz.com/kudoz/809867 The question is about use of commas with "which", but there is a lot of other stuff about whether to use "which" or "that". Both Kim's answer (selected) and mine, contain statements of the rules for commas. -
Richard Benham: 1:48pm Dec 20, 2004: My advice on "which" vs "that" is that, if you are a native speaker, you should follow your instincts. Just observe the rule for commas to avoid ambiguity. Cheers, Richard. -

| | small changes required.... | Explanation:
First, the comma after "companies" is what is called a "continental comma", and just *has* to go.
Next "*its* shareholders or partners"--since people don't have shareholders or partners (in this sense); note that a Gesellschafter can be a partner.
Then "by a majority *of* capital" (or "through a majority...").
"Stand under" is a definite Teutonicism: plain "are under" is fine. |
