I think you meant "without a predicate".
</pendantic>
As far as I can tell, "Sometimes more succinct than it needs to be" is grammatically incorrect because it lacks a predicate.
- achr2 6y agoIt's unreadable because the proper use of adverbs gives context. If the adverb "succinctly" was not flagged by this ridiculous app, the sentence would sound natural.
- dragonwriter 6y agoNo, it wouldn't. It would just be a freestanding adverb phrase rather than a freestanding adjective phrase.
