minus-square@boyilink2•4 months ago Sales of SUVs surge as concerns grow over rising emissions Sorry, out of topic but is the word ‘as’ appropriate there? I thought ‘amid’ would be more accurate.
minus-square@JoBo@feddit.uklinkfedilink2•4 months ago“As” works better in this construction. If you decided you wanted to use “amid” instead it’d be “… amid growing concerns …”. “As” in this construction means “while” (or “at the same time as”).
