Jul 4, 2018 at 8:25 comment added Andrea Lazzarotto @DmitryGrigoryev it might depend on one's mother tongue, but in several languages (including English) the emphasis is often before a punctuation mark like a comma, unless otherwise noted. So the sentence currently can (and probably will) be read as "is only valid for entering Canada by land" at least by some readers. Otherwise why would you think I would have even bothered to ask about the ambiguous meaning in the first place? Just to waste my own time? :P
Jul 4, 2018 at 8:04 comment added Dmitry Grigoryev @AndreaLazzarotto Personally I don't feel such an edit is needed.
Jul 4, 2018 at 7:38 comment added Andrea Lazzarotto OK, apparently I can't make an edit suggestion because it's less than 6 characters. My suggestion was to replace Canada by land with *Canada* (by land).
Jul 4, 2018 at 7:35 comment added Andrea Lazzarotto It seems I read it with the emphasis on "by land" rather than on "Canada or the US" and then I started wondering why Canada was mentioned at all. The emphasis in written form is sometimes ambiguous. I will make an edit suggestion.

Jul 3, 2018 at 21:15 comment added Andrea Lazzarotto Is this answer relevant for the UK? Why does it mention Canada?
