I believe you are correct. Note that if you choose to request a recheck though, you, as the reviewer are required to provide evidence as to "why" you are correct and the editor was incorrect. You can't just say, "You're wrong." Find a reputable website with the grammar rule & submit that with the recheck request.AntoineOMEGA wrote: ↑11 Jul 2019, 15:28 This is what I put.
