[aha123]

I want to know if I convert sentence A to B and C, would the meaning in A get lost?


A) Pharmacies that dispensed Lipitor made good profits.

B) Pharmacies dispensing Lipitor made good profits.
C) Lipitor dispensing pharmacies made good profits.

They mean the same to me, but in C you need to hyphenate Lipitor-dispensing.

Speaking from a US point of view, I completely agree with Roger of England.

Please forgive me!

It looks like according to the above responses, there three convey the same meaning, correct?

"About" shouldn't be part of your title. Otherwise, any of the three would be fine.

Apology accepted Parla; friends reunited.
