| Jul 6, 2017 at 10:54 | comment | added | Juve | Thx for the hint on "making" and "about", I am just finishing my final text for the library these weeks. Just in time ;) | |
| Jun 21, 2017 at 11:53 | comment | added | Jack Aidley | There are other problems in your sentence. 'Avoids to make' is not good grammar, and the 'in particular' is unneeded. I would rewrite as follows: "The previous solution avoids making any assumptions about effect X. But when doing A for objects Y1 and Y2, this may cause effect B." Also, depending on the exact words, the second sentence is probably best reversed to "But this may cause effect A when...". | |

| Aug 24, 2016 at 12:12 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | @Juve: That's probably a good move! You haven't told us what preceding text those first three words refer back to. But but implies some kind of contrast, refutation of whatever came before, whereas in particular would normally introduce some specific detail supporting an earlier statement, so it's not easy to come up with contexts where they work well together. | |

| Aug 24, 2016 at 10:52 | comment | added | Juve | Thx, @FumbleFingers. Your comment helped me to rephrase my text and I also got rid of the "But". | |
| Aug 23, 2016 at 12:42 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | I think the example is stylistically weak. I'd dump the unhelpful commas and resequence to But in particular, the system cannot do B when doing A. Arguably even that remaining comma should be discarded too. | |
| Aug 23, 2016 at 12:32 | comment | added | 123 | @Juve What is the previous sentence? But is used to contrast a previous statement. | |
| Aug 23, 2016 at 12:21 | comment | added | Juve | I also consider using "But, when A in particular, the system cannot B." @123: The "But" is required to connect a previous statement. | |

| Aug 23, 2016 at 9:35 | comment | added | Helmar | @123 considering the title that seems to be integral to the question | |
| Aug 23, 2016 at 7:56 | comment | added | 123 | Omit the but altogether. | |
