As a non-native speaker, I couldn't agree more
You were taught this through? Through what?
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..
The English language is difficult, but it can be understood through tough, thorough thought.
i gave up and just read thot tho
Though thorough throughout, I came here for thoughts on thots.
thou thoroughly thought this through.
The dyslexia tango!
Trough!!
I looked this over and noticed they'd overlooked this one
Ought
