Sometimes the intent is to make the reader pay more attention to a sentence, but I suspect the real issue is that your reading comprehension isn't as strong as you think it is, and that you've decided to plant your feet and declare any sentence that you don't immediately parse as "bad writing".
It's possible, but I got perfect scores on the SAT do you know english thing, or something like that? On all the english standard things i would get the questions right
Perhaps it's just easy to conflate the easily bored with the stupid?
I had to read this comment about 5 times before I understood what you were trying to say... Glass houses, pot, kettle, etc.
They got a perfect score on the SAT! Which means they exempted out of basic punctuation, grammar, and using words more descriptive than "thing" for the rest of their life.
Just because someone sounds and writes stupid and says stupid things and hates books doesn't mean they don't get multiple choice stuff right
Which is the reason the SATs are extremely mediocre at evaluating actual competency.
There's a big difference between being able to pick one of four definitions of a word and being able to read a sentence containing it without stopping for an hour.
Totally true
