get away through

[svetlana14]

Dear all,

Please have a look at the sentence. "If you are suffering from family problems that you can't get away through then you are not alone" Is it correct to use "through" with "get away". I was trying to surf the internet but failed to find the collocation of get away, which is itself a phrasal verb, with particle "through". Thank you.

Where did you see/hear this sentence?

 

[jutfrank]

I imagine it was meant as a way through.

It's possible that it was meant to be "If you are suffering from family problems that you can't get away from, then you are not alone", or "If you are suffering from family problems that you can't get through, then you are not alone".

Or get away from.

Until svetlana responds to 5jj's post #2 we can only guess.

It's a mistake.

 

[emsr2d2]

There are multiple errors in the first few paragraphs on the main page. It was either written by a non-native speaker or they've used a translation tool.

My sense is that it was written by a native speaker with a very poor command of English. Definitely not a translation tool.

Furthermore, I'm convinced that the word through was intended (notice the repetition in the following sentence). I think it's a muffed attempt at expressing the metaphoric sense of: find a way through a problematic area.

In any case, it's badly wrong, and it would certainly dissuade me from using their services.
