Feb 4, 2015 at 9:14 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | 'At around' here means something like 'around the time when they reach'. So there's deletion involved whichever option (of the two you offer) you choose. In my experience, Brits tend to prefer including prepositions (at around the time ...; on Thursday; in early March) in temporal adverbials, while our transatlantic cousins drop them far more frequently. Neither choice is usually more correct. | |
