Those ones

[Dodi Schultz]

Ed Keer asks for opinions on:

  >> I like these cars much better than those ones.

The word "ones" is superfluous; the sentence is therefore clumsy.

  >> I like these cars much better than those.

Fine.

  >> I like these green cars much better than those red ones.

Okay.

  >> I like these green cars much better than those red.

Those red WHAT?
