SamHB: Yes, you fixed the grammar for the compound verb, but that compound verb construction was awkward.

Thunkful2: del , - commas do not divide parts of a compound verb.

 You can also make a model simply by fiddling around with the data, as NASA did when studying the erosion of O-rings used in the [[space shuttle]]:
