Grammar??

[edit]

"...although the substantial area of moorland to the north of this road including the reservoirs of Nant y Moch and Llyn Clywedog."

There's something wrong with this phrase, it seems to lack an active verb. "Including" isn't a verb even though "include" is.

Try taking take the words "to the north...Clywedog" and substituting "here" - you could then paraphrase the whole thing as "although the moorland here." See what I mean?

Perhaps this phrase has been inadequately translated from Welsh? At any rate, it definitely doesn't make sense as it stands! Edetic (talk) 05:59, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

> Perhaps this phrase has been inadequately translated from Welsh? < Hardly likely given that – as the article says – the very term "Desert of Wales" is not used in Welsh. The area, incidentally, is perhaps more frequently referred to (by writers in English) as the Green Desert of Wales... -- Picapica (talk) 11:56, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
