a is predominently singulair, it is grating to see it in collocation with an adverbial phrase involving a quantifier "most", though in the sense that the rejecting is supposed to be one simple train of thought, it has a certain sense of understatement in this case. Still, it's lacking grammatical agreement with the "suggestions", which is a fairly common problem in fact.
It's understandable that a rigid rule of grammar would advise against it. It's called grammarly, not semanticly.
- Veen 5y agoWell, thank you, but that error was the result of a quick rephrasing. I modified one aspect of the sentence to maintain parallelism between the two gerunds without making sure it still made grammatical sense. I should have removed the article. I'm more diligent in a professional context than I am in off-the-cuff HN comments. (To return the favour, "a is predominently singulair, it is grating to see it in collocation..." includes a comma splice and a misspelling — singulair.)
