The two additional words were quoted in a somewhat unintuitive way; I’ve changed the wording a bit to make it easier to parse. Feel free to undo if you don’t think it has the intended effect. – Janus Bahs Jacquet Jul 4 '18 at 15:37

@JanusBahsJacquet Thanks, that helped. I find every way of expressing this a bit awkward, but I take your point. – Jason Bassford Jul 4 '18 at 16:14
