Can we rewrite "preferences along" into "preferences in"?
'Further, Nielsen indicates that iTunes users form a distinct target audience with brand preferences along autos, alcohol beverages, magazines, and television,' he added. _________________ Hiromichi |

"Along" doesn't make sense to me here. Is there any chance that the word could have been "among" instead? I think "in" would work. |
