| May 9, 2014 at 3:35 | comment | added | downwitch | Nitpickery no doubt, but the "something made worse" in your example sentence was the performance. It's not "the problem", which remains the same, and while you can "worsen" performance, that's poorly constructed too. You certainly can't exacerbate or aggravate or compound it. | |
