Is it?
For example, you can understand some event putting others in great misfortune, even in detail, and you can go through that misfortune yourself. The latter grants a very different understanding. It's similar to what the rest of that sentence conveyed. I don't know why anyone would understand this any other way actually.
- jtsiskin 2y agoThey're saying it’s similar to a garden path sentence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden-path_sentence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden-path_sentence - it’s easy to parse wrong at first
- perching_aix 2y agoYeah I understood that, it's just that even when I read it the alternative way they misread it, I get nearly the same meaning and it is sensible, no oxymorons to be found. Maybe I'm further from native level than I thought and it's just not hitting my ears nearly as bad, I don't know.
