What kind of non-sentence is that?
It's an existing sentence if it's not non-exisent.
Big if true and big.
Seems like a perfectly cromulent English sentence to me.
Looked up "cromulent" in the dictionary. Wasn't disappointed!!
The fact it's now in the dictionary proper is bizarre... but I mean... so is "okay." And that's almost the same ascended joke.
It's what they most not the least
The kind of sentence you write when you're still 20 words from the target your editor set for the article
The chances of the coin flip yielding heads are roughly 50%, if coins don't not exist.
It means when the author was waiting for his order at Popeyes, the guy in front who did small talk with him introduced himself as a Gitlab employee and told the author "Gitlab might sell in weeks. It is a deal or no deal"
It feels like it's saying "if rumors are true, the deal is weeks away." A reminder that it might not be the case.
