As I was responding to Barrie English’s contribution, another answer occurred to me. Will someone tell me what you think of it?

In a nutshell, the statement an Xing Y can be interpreted as either a Y that Xs or a Y that is Xing. In many contexts only one interpretation makes sense (the other is either absurd, or violates Grice’s Cooperative Principle ) so we go with that one. In cases where either interpretation makes sense, we prefer a Y that Xs over a Y that is Xing.

For instance, in the case of a sleeping man we can interpret this as either a man who sleeps or a man who is sleeping. Where can I find male sleep? Same applies to this crying baby/daddy, to the shining light and so on.

How do you interpret Barrie English and a man who is a fishing person, or a dancer who is of ballet, and a man who is in a fishing boat?

I’ll assume you’re using fruits in its more common, uncountable sense.

Less veggies. More less fruits and vegetables.

We are wasting and losing tons of fruits and vegetables. Getting rid of some of the most contaminated fruits and vegetables.

Why are the words “less fruit” and “fewer vegetables” used? How do I describe this in a sentence? When Fruit and Vegetables is combined, the rule of proximity tells us that the word nearest to less determines which form we should use.

This sentence is an acceptable sentence:

the maid made our beds this morning.

If you don’t get a big snidey to satisfy others then yours may well be perfectly acceptable.

The ” to to” is a big distraction of reading a text. It is very annoying. Why it’s good to rewrite a sentence? Which website

should I go to upload the photo?

As an adverb, talk to you. I had a great time talking

to you. I told you it means a lot. What gives you the best advice?

What a lovely introduction!

If you are feeling like a noun: Talking to you?

Is it so good to be around you? If then what will you be providing?

Is this a standard idiom?

Either way, the same meaning is conveyed, so I don’t think there’s any need to complicate matters by looking for the “distinction without a difference”.

The sentence as a whole is grammatically correct, and will cause no trouble to somebody who is used to reading dense academic prose.

What makes my thesis look weird when I read in a sitting position instead of studying it in full detail, due to

the sentence’s complex structure producing fragments like

this;… who they are will they… But the person who marks my thesis won’t do it. Don’t change a thing if you have the time or cash to do so.

I previously suggested you put a comma between are and will, but on reflection it harms as much as it helps.)
