Is the idiom “in order”?
In order to get my site to delete all articles, I need to add an explanation. To get the site to stop using, I need an answer.
If you feel “your deletion proposal isn’t clear enough,
please provide one”, please provide 1:…. or ask your deletion team
for comment.
If you’re looking to replace “in order”, I would suggest simple “necessary” or “pertinent”
“If you feel an explanation is necessary, please provide one:”
or
“If you feel an explanation is pertinent, please provide one:”
Is ‘in order’ a good phrase? Will “helpful” or “useful” also be possible; “necessary” or “needed” change the meaning slightly.
Why is the second suggestion so awkward?
