22:01 <axeafrica> hi
22:02 <axeafrica> need assistance with a sentence, someones acitve?
22:02 <axeafrica> is "compete with quality, rather than with lawyers" a correct sentence? would "compete with quality, rather than lawyers" be one?
22:05 <Masavishnu> I'd use the latter, but I'm not sure if my opinion's worth anything as I'm not a native English speaker
23:02 <Jezral> I think you mean to say "compete on quality", though. To 'compete with' is another meaning.
23:02 <Jezral> (att: axeafrica )
23:02 <axeafrica> ahh thanks
23:03 <Jezral> "compete on quality, rather than litigation" might sound even better. Then there can't be any doubt. If you say with lawyers, it can be misunderstood.
23:08 <axeafrica> at the moment iam printing "Compete on Quality! ...rather than laws."
23:09 <axeafrica> Jezral, is this english ok
23:09 <Jezral> It's ok
23:09 <axeafrica> thank you

With a followup later on:
17:49 <axeafrica> thank you, for improving it: gallery.dhcp42.de/albums/pictures-from-niclas/DSCF3550.jpg
