Can some grammar nazi help me with this phrase from Zeldin's letter asking for duplicative Special Counsel? https://zeldin.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/rep-zeldin-leads-13-member-letter-calling-doj-appointment-special …pic.twitter.com/27t7xxFqjm
Anyway, grammar question aside, here's the list of people who want a duplicative special counsel. Notable: Ron DeSantis (one Rep who most benefited from RU hack-and-leak) is not playing along this time.pic.twitter.com/4RFuRnQv89
horrible, but not incorrect "of the utmost importance to ensure that these historic, legendary and necessary agencies move forward more respected and effective than ever before"
any appointment of an alternate special counsel should be met with the same outrage and response as the firing of Mueller
i think there's an implicit comma after forward
There aren’t enough characters in a Tweet to identify &explain all of the grammar problems in the letter. My 10th grade English teacher would have torn up the letter &told me to try again.
An adjective, (describing form), of duplicate - exactly the same as, or corresponding in all respects to something else - as used in your sentence another special council exactly like one preceding it?
Also note the use of the weaselly passive tense when referring to "questions raised".
Make sure these agencies are even more respected and effective in the future. Only with stupid buzzwords and a crappy construction.
It's a bit of semantics issue. He wants to ensure that the institutions will be more respected in the future. Also, are to become more effective. Maybe link them causally? "A more respected [x] will become an even more effective [x]."
And add "being" after comma?
I don’t think that’s necessary. I think it’s an adverbial clause after the comma, describing the “move forward”. Doesn’t need a verb.
...move forward with more respect and effectiveness than ever before.
Oh man, Zeldin is turning into a Nunes in training.
in other words, need a duplicate SC "so that, in the future, the agencies will be more effective and better respected"
it's awkward but clear - "move forward" simply means "in the future" and the rest (effective, more respected) is how the agencies "will be" in the future
