They don't want to have to say "Some items count towards your 5 A-day only once per day". And already "your 5 a-day" is an abbreviated version of a longer phrase. | |
Oct 6 at 11:10 | comment | added | TimR | The second is unclear. Some items should be consumed only once per day. Even to say that they "should be counted only once" would be ambiguous. It's not that you can ignore the fact that you have consumed one of them and do not need to "count" them. | |
