Family
Hello Jsumerau,

I see that you have made quite a lenghty edit to the following topic :Family. I have been reviewing the same edit, and have accepted it. However, would like you to check the same again, and try and use some words which will help it make a better read than the use of the words which might lead to mere complications and make questions arise due to confusions as well. Thus request you to recheck your edit, and try and rephrase the subject to make it fir for better read. In case you want to discuss further, please start the topic on the discussion page of the book, and tag my user id there. I will surely respond upon the same. Also, if you wish I would be happy to assist.

Hello User:Harrybrowne1986,

I am currently in the process of revising the book with the help of the principle author and substantial changes should be expected. As far as terminology/wording goes, we are merely making adjustments to bring the book into form for use in Introduction to Sociology classes. As such, I'm uncertain what words you would like changed (feel free to send me some examples), and I don't know if changing them (while remaining appropriate for a college textbook being adopted for use in courses) would be possible without reviewing specific cases. All that said, lovely to hear from you and thanks for your thoughts. Best, j


 * Hello Jsumerau,
 * Thanks for looking at it and advising me of the same. I understand that you are working with the original researcher, which is nice. The words I meant were few status words, sentence construction. I believe that I see them as a bit different than how other readers might see, so like this sentence built upon monogamous sexual and emotional relations, which has monogamy related to it, can be broadened to state the word monogamy and also describe it a bit. Again, although this sentence was previously, In earlier centuries, young adults were expected to court with the intention of finding a marriage partner, rather than for social reasons., you amended it to In earlier centuries, young adults were expected to court with the intention of finding marriage partners, rather than for social reasons.. I still think the sentence can be made more constructive like In the earlier centuries, young adults were expected to court with the intentions to find a marriage partner, rather than for any other social reasons. Although these are some of my understanding portions, it can be still what you stated, as this is a book, and can be stated to best suit the readers.
 * Saying that, just a gentle reminder, please use four tildes to end any conversation, as this assists in knowing when and by whom was this signed.
 * Please advice if I am correct in my figure of sentences, otherwise, the ones by you are still okay.

Hello user:Harrybrowne1986,

Thank you for your thoughts and response. I think (based on audience) these wordings will likely be best, but just in case I've passed your notes on to the primary author (Ryan Cragun) for his review since he is much more tech savvy and familiar with wiki norms as well as the audience we're working for. Also, I'm not sure I know what a "tildes" is, but I'll try to sign off accordingly (I'm not very tech savvy). Best, j. User:JsumerauUser Talk:Jsumerau
