Re: short term to influence gasoline prices
Quote:Robert Ebel: I don't care whether there's a Democratic Admininstration in place or a Republican Admininstration in place. There's little that can be done short term to influence gasoline prices.
That is correct, pretty much.
To improve it, though, I would add a hyphen, like this:
Quote:Robert Ebel: I don't care whether there's a Democratic Admininstration in place or a Republican Admininstration in place. There's little that can be done short-term to influence gasoline prices.
Or maybe, if you want to avoid hyphens:
Quote:Robert Ebel: I don't care whether there's a Democratic Admininstration in place or a Republican Admininstration in place. There's little that can be done in the short term to influence gasoline prices.
