AmbiguousParseError: consider punctuation, or for 'on a daily basis' try 'throughout the day'. > I'm not too polite to correct, MissingObjectError: unknown direct object of 'to correct'. -- (Just kidding :))
- rootbear 6y agoI was really hoping someone would offer corrections! Thanks!
- wccrawford 6y agoI don't actually agree with the corrections, though. Those phrases are similar, but subtly different. It depends on whether you meant you hear them every day, but not always a lot... Or whether you hear them constantly throughout the day, every day.
- OJFord 6y agoYeah, maybe 'each day' or something would have been a better fit - regardless, my preferred recommendation was a comma or two. And mostly I really was just kidding, actively looking for anything to nitpick on in a comment talking about correcting people's grammar. 'to correct' without a (with an implied) direct object is also fine in colloquial speech, or internet comments.
