| Apr 4, 2018 at 21:38 | comment | added | Robbie Goodwin | Sorry, Zebrafish… this is the first time in 50 years that I've understood the old joke: "Doctor, it hurts when I do this. Really? Then don't do that…" No problem arises except as you imagined it. To the extent that using that construction or pattern with the postcedent in any example causes a problem, don't do that. Simple semantics should stop any question of "They're as great men as you will ever find" because “they” can’t all be the one greatest. How could anything else matter? | |
