| They sound fine to me. The word "imply" means to state or convey something indirectly and subtly. You mean "indicate." The nonrestrictive clause in your question goes between "expression" and "sound." The current position may result in unintended humor. |

Oh yes. I did mean " indicate". I know "imply" means to convey something indirectly but I just thought "imply" can be used in these cases. Sorry. "Indicate" is all what I want to say here. You mean I would say "do the following expressions, which are written on a business card, sound fine to native speakers?", don't you? It is not sound written on a business card, isn't it? :-) It is so humorous to me reading your words " unintended humor"! Thank you very much, Mordant. JLTS P/S: Can "expression" be used in the plural form in this case or should it take a singular verb? I know the existence of "expressions" but please let me know if it sounds awkward in this expression. :-) _________________ Learning English is just for good |

| Hi, Joseph. I have no problem with your use of "expressions" at all. |
