      How is it not? It makes absolutely no sense.

        Aside from being angry at their choice to call their “tweet” equivalent “Skeets”, which bit confuses you?

          I’m not angry, I legitimately just didn’t know that.

          which bit confuses you?

          …the whole thing? Hence “word salad”.

        It really does make perfect sense. There is nothing grammatically or semantically wrong with the bit you quoted. Is English your first language?

        While it may be difficult to start reading books at the point you are at, it seems like it might be worth the effort to overcome the initial difficulties.

          Ah yes, my confusion totally warrants personal insults, thank you for that.

            That’s fair. Though it was more in response to how consistently negative you were being to everyone else. Like you were trying to prove to everyone else the sentence was as hard to read as you thought it was. I was more attacking the character you were playing with ad hominem, to show you how your position was coming across.

              LOL I’ve no idea what you’re on about, I wasn’t playing any “character”.

                Well, not at first, but after an hour of everyone explaining the sentence, and how it was a proper well-written sentence, at some point maintaining that you were correct that it didn’t make sense had to start being a character you were playing.

                Whether unintentionally manifested through ODD, or intentional, same difference.

                  You need to check your timestamps. And also go away.

                    Ok, sorry, 2 hours. But either way, one hour would have sufficed for it to no longer be legitimate confusion anymore. And I can for sure go away, just stop posting things you are trying to get responses to. Although I think at this point, this is my last response even if you keep doing so.
