South and southern

South and southern
 
Could I say:

Political consequences were felt most strongly in the south and east of Britain...

instead of:

(id.) in southern and eastern of Britain :?:

Thanks. :)

Yes. :)

irmamar February 04, 2011 12:28 PM

Thank you. :) :rose:

I've just realized that this is anyway grammatically incorrect. Not only that, but I suspect that Southern and Eastern should have uppercase initials.

And you need to rest. More butter. :rose::rose:

Thanks. :D

Se me ha colado ese "of" y no sé de dónde ha salido. :thinking: :D

I don't think the capitals are required. (And standing alone, Southern makes me think you're talking about railways).

American English thoughts:

"southern" is an adjective, so you would need a noun afterwards such as "the southern parts of Britain"

South and East are correct for your sentence.

Yes, and that noun is Britain. So southern Britain. :)

I was looking at the "of" from his original sentence.

But she already said she had no idea why it was there. Time to move on. :)

I see that now. Moving on. Thank you for the other important correction.
