As is said, "It's the fool is the wise man, and the wise man the fool". Well, I don't know about wise but I'm certainly a fool, and just to prove it I'm to take the liberty of requesting confirmation for what's considered, by yours truly, something of a formality in respect of. A bit of a 'dead ringer' if I'm to be as bold. To save time, and for any person just jumped in and disinclined to thrall backwards through the spate of replies referencing this thread, relax. Put your feet up. Here's as it is - does as follows " This, to an extent, represented by one side of a prison wing, and with inmates thereof required to hear all manner of diatribe from performances only rarely interspersed with any others of quality." constitute, as I believe it to, a grammatically incorrect sentence? I would certainly appear to. Who am I to argue with myself, when with the participle represented having no finite verb linking it directly with the subject (the implied subject) This. To emphasize, for any like me less than au fait with grammer, sorry grammar, I am not a teacher. I am not, but with that possibility that none such, or none as consider themselves proficient in the subject, take the trouble to verify or, 'horror of horrors', repudiate my contention, well, that's to leave us ignoramusus a touch unsure. However, let's not get excited. We'll wave goodbye to uncertainty right now. I should coco. Because where, and to what extent malignant, should human beings be left were it not for our indefatigable belief in one another? Nowhere much I'd say. And please don't anyone suggest, for it's too terrible for words, that such is where humanity finds itself this minute. Pray, remark not! Let's have no such talk comrades, and content ourselves as confident, in my opinion of the sentence as a grammatical washout. Do so, when not a whisper to the contrary. Should courage fail you however, ask around yourselves! Oh revere, mes amis.
