Hi Tom
I'd like to make a few suggestions, and then let you do whatever rewording you think necessary:
- Use 'wrist' rather than 'hand'
- Use 'most people' instead of 'most of the people'.
- This group of words 'as to on' doesn't read very well and should be broken up somehow. There is no reason you couldn't put 'on' at the end of the clause. You could also use something other than the phrase 'as to'.
By the way, if that 80% figure of yours is correct, then I fall into the other 20%. :lol:

Thanks Amy
How do you find it now?

So do I. That is, so did I, when I used to wear a wrist-watch. Now I use my cell-phone :lol: |
