"Or do we find some other, less salubrious way around the problem?"
Since salubrious means "good" or "healthy", this statement doesn't make much sense. If you're going to use words your readers are likely going to have to look up, at least use them correctly.
EDIT: at least, it doesn't make sense insofar as I understood the intent of the sentence.
- singular 15y agoI meant less salubrious as in more seedy, less wholesome, a usage I've heard before, e.g. 'a less salubrious bar'. The idea was to imply an evil, dirty hack - I was trying to add colour to the post, but perhaps didn't succeed :-) I do try to endeavour to stick to the simplest possible expression, but sometimes still fall foul to the use of a word which I enjoy but in fact reduces clarity.
