Is this correct? "As strawberries grow and ripen, they turn from green to white to red--just like the Italian flag!"
Yes | 36 (48%) |
No | 38 (51%) |
I'm with the 51%. This comparison doesn't quite work. I don't think the Italian flag turns from green to white to red. Anyone want to rewrite it?

A comment from Wes:
If I could get the comments page to work, I’d post this myself, but apparently only that part of the website is blocked. :-(
Anyway, I’d fix the strawberries like this: "As strawberries grow and ripen, they turn from green to white to red—the same colours, and in the same order, as on the Italian flag!"
Here goes:
"As strawberries grow and ripen, they take on the colors of the Italian flag,turning from green to white to red."

Anon, I don't agree with your rewrite because the flag does not turn different colors; it contains different colors. Try again?
"As strawberries grow and ripen, they take on the colors of the Italian flag- green,white,then red."

I would say, almost!
"As strawberries grow and ripen, they take on the colors of the Italian flag--green, white, and red."
