which is more the province of the pharmacist Explanation: I realise that literally farmacia is pharmacy, but what I read this as saying is that the world of laxatives is more something that is dealt with by a pharmacist, i.e. requiring their expertise and experience. HTH :) |

peer agreement (net): +7which is more of a chemist's item Explanation: this is how I would translate it -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2010-08-10 16:17:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I would change the sentence slightly to read as follows: The team effort aimed at a fertile market (laxatives) which are more of a chemist's item. I'd try to avoid associating 'fertile ground' and 'world of laxatives', as this conjures up some rather unsavoury images (or is it just me?) |
