peer agreement (net): +10within the bounds of common sense; within reasonable limits Explanation: They both work in British English, I promise :) "Common sense" sounds fine. With "reasonable limits" you could use the verb "kept" - i.e. "kept within reasonable limits". "Employers with an exceptionally good safety record should not be considered admirable, since they could just be wasting money and overcharging customers. The test would not be how safe can everything be, but how safe should it be **within the bounds of common sense**. If a charity fete or construction site or historic castle is regularly way below its accident target, it would suggest that money is being wasted and no one had the courage to take a risk." http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/story/0,,2108744,00.... "...teaching and consultancy, which should be voluntary, acceptable to the funding agency, and kept **within reasonable limits**, may also assist with an individual's career development. External teaching and consultancy must be notified to the Head of Department before being undertaken" http://wwws-a.ucl.ac.uk/hr/docs/crs_career_mment_schme.php |
