And to my mind if you're going to follow such as with a list, the elements in that list should share some common "unifying factor". Which I don't really see here, so I wouldn't use it. | |

| Apr 12, 2015 at 13:49 | comment | added | Kris | There's a subtle-to-significant difference between the use of among and such as -- if you are interested in the difference, search around the web a little and let us know what you found; else either should be fine, they are both grammatical and acceptable. Just include a comma in all the appropriate places. Good Luck. | |
