Trying to phrase the question in a way that is in line with the rules to get this taken off hold.

| Apr 19, 2018 at 23:10 | comment | added | Robusto | I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because the matter has nothing to do with grammaticality. | |
| Apr 19, 2018 at 22:52 | comment | added | Arm the good guys in America | Seems straight out of ODO def 6, which includes I soon had the trout in a net’. | |

| Apr 19, 2018 at 21:42 | comment | added | J. Taylor | I don't see or hear anything unusual about the sentence. But if it does not ring right, then change it. | |
| Apr 19, 2018 at 21:20 | comment | added | Nigel J | I don't see anything 'wrong' with it but it is an interesting sentence for more than one reason. 'Fatigue [...] put him to bed [...]' I agree would be a bit odd. | |
