Re: (GRE Success! ) Re: Sentence Correction Question

Hello Kartik,

Thanks for responding with the analysis. My request wasn't even that deep,
but in the US, the extra "of your work" gets used frequently.

I was also hoping you would catch this error "off your work" as composed in
the original sentence. It should have been "of your work", and perhaps as
you suggest, should not have been there anyway. This goes to show, being a
person of fewer words is not always a bad thing :).

Good work!

Good Luck,

Srihari
