Regarding generic prose

[edit source]

I appreciate the couple of grammatical edits that you caught on my new article for Amazon One. I missed the one comma as I had to double back to put in the first, but forgot the second. Meanwhile, "inquire information about" was redundant and awkward.

I do push back on the first edit, though. What I wrote was merely generic reference (not specific), and I argue that it flows far better within a context where I am writing about an issue in a theoretical sense, as I was in that paragraph when flowing into the introduction of a concept.
