Am I missing something? There has been no comment identifying any temporal quantity. Predicated on your lack of intelligence, it is warranted to affirm your fraternity “isn’t doing it right.”
Sunrise, “that” needs not to exist necessarily to make the segment complete. It is gramatically correct to leave the complementizer empty by virtue of the completeness of both the subject term and the predicate term. This erases enough ambiguity to reasonably distinguish the flow of the discourse.
Yeah, I had guessed that Oprah. And it is not gramatically correct because “your fraternity ‘isn’t doing it right’ ” cannot serve as the object of affirmation, while the addition of that encases it in a subordinate clause which can serve as a direct object.
I agree that it is a subordinate clause due to the nature of the ending being dependent on the initial element of the sentence. However, this specific instance yielded a circumstance of a special type of subordinate clause, the aforementioned “complementizer” which honors the ability to omit the “that” rendering it inessential. The complexity of the English language permits the possibility of correctness in meaning of multiple sentences written at variance.
Awwww. This made me blush. Super presh.

13 years ago at 7:38 pmThis is solid. Last minute hazing is a must do.
13 years ago at 4:00 pmI admire the length of the pledge period. I guess my fraternity isn’t doing it right if ours isn’t as long.
13 years ago at 4:11 pmBecause TFMs are always posted the same time they are submitted.

13 years ago at 5:26 pmIt makes sense to me. But I’m not fully sober so I don’t care.
13 years ago at 5:28 pmIs it just me or does phigamsecrets talk like they were born in 1836?

13 years ago at 6:37 pmI forgot who I was arguing with, but I’ll concede victory to you. Woodford reserve has convinced me that this fight is not worth fighting.
13 years ago at 7:51 pmAnd fuck, I thought complementizer was a made up word til wikipedia told me otherwise. So I mighta been wrong but I can’t remember the argument
