You were taught this through? Through what?

[-] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

Through the troughs of school, feeding me all those "delicious" spelling woes!

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Maybe "thoroughly" would fit better..

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

It's correct as written. Think of it like "see this through" or taught this "through and through". You can say "taught this through" to mean, "taught this completely/well".

I’ve never seen anyone use a singular “through” as a synonym for “thoroughly”. Maybe it’s a regional thing?

As a native speaker, fuck, fuck this fucking language.

As a non-native speaker, I couldn't agree more

The English language is difficult, but it can be understood through tough, thorough thought.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Though thorough throughout, I came here for thoughts on thots.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

it's still tough "throughout", Shirley.
