| Mar 13, 2015 at 10:19 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | There is the faint possibility that the postposed subject (my cover letter and resume) be preferred to be considered as a single entity, when is might be considered a valid choice. Using the standard example, I suddenly understood why Simeon had insisted we travel the extra three miles to this particular hotel – on the breakfast menu was bacon and eggs!' | |
