Is the quote correct? I think that 'Do a few cliks of the mouse, a moment or two hits on a keyboard, and an Internet banking transaction is completed.' is correct.
What do you think of it?
Thanks. |

It needs a comma after two but there's quite a bit left out.
You make a few clicks of a mouse, wait a moment or two, make some hits on a keyboard, and an Internet banking transaction is completed.
I guess you read it in a newspaper.
Personally, I would say any English that is not immediately clear to the reader is not good English.
Your example is not good English. |
