terms[edit]

The Statute is best known because of its constitutional significance in terms of the shift away from feudalism.

In hard sciences, one says things like "express the gravitational force between two bodies in terms of their masses and distance"; I haven't found any other context in which in terms of has a well-defined meaning, but I hear people saying it all the time because they're in too much of a rush to think of a more meaningful preposition.

Would the sense of the quoted sentence be damaged by removing terms of, i.e., by making it ...constitutional significance in the shift...? Or it could be rewritten: The Statute is a prominent marker in the constitutional shift away from feudalism. —Tamfang (talk) 05:35, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
