Though I was taught this through, or so I thought, it's still tough throughout. (beehaw.org)

You were taught this through? Through what?

[–] Bunnylux 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

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?

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

Maybe "thoroughly" would fit better..
