Iren Rad (asker) Mar 12, 2006:
To William [Bill] Gray: thank you so much for your suggestion, I'm also guessing.
Iren Rad (asker) Mar 11, 2006:
I am editing a report written in English by a non native English speaker, and thank you for the answer.
RHELLER Mar 11, 2006:
did you write this sentence in English? or are you just trying to understand the meaning?
Iren Rad (asker) Mar 11, 2006:
Thank you.
Carmen Schultz Mar 11, 2006:
It makes more sense than the first sentence but the verb studied is perhaps not too aligned with the idea of survey--maybe something like addressed (these issues have been addressed in another layout)
Iren Rad (asker) Mar 11, 2006:
To Carmen Schultz: What is your idea on the next sentence, please?
Iren Rad (asker) Mar 11, 2006:
To Rita: what is your idea on this one, please:
These issues have been studied (introduced) in another layout (different format) by our survey which is shown in the following table:
Carmen Schultz Mar 11, 2006:
Yes, I am with the others here in that this is not making sense--it has to be rethought out and rewritten as it lacks logic.
Iren Rad (asker) Mar 11, 2006:
The writer is someone else.
Iren Rad (asker) Mar 11, 2006:
Yes.
David Moore (X) Mar 11, 2006:
But even with "proven", the sentence does not make conclusive sense.
Iren Rad (asker) Mar 11, 2006:
Thank you Rita, I agree with proven.
Thank you David Moore, issues had been discussed before.
David Moore (X) Mar 11, 2006:
Agree with Rita; what issues are "these", and is there something missing after the ":"?
RHELLER Mar 11, 2006:
proven? This sentence does not make sense.

issues never prove something

These issues have been studied (introduced) in another layout IN our survey,as shown in the following table:

a layout (plan/schematics/diagram) could prove something

in the U.S. the term "survey" has 2 meanings:
1) poll
2) engineering land survey - technical drawings
Peer comment(s):

With a little more punctuation (and a lot of imagination), I suggest:

These issues, in another layout, show, by our surveys in the following table, that.....

Would this fit your context, Iren?
A bit tortuous, I'll agree, but as I indicate, I'm guessing!! :-)
