[JACEK1]

Hello all user!

It is better to wear a jacket than to disgrace oneself by donning a coat.

It is better to wear a jacket than to bring disgrace on oneself by donning a coat.

I would like you to tell me if the aforementioned sentences with "disgrace" structures (verb and noun) are understandable and acceptable to you.

Thank you.

They are grammatically correct, but not natural. We rarely use 'don' these days, and I don't see how putting on a coat can bring disgrace on anybody.

They are old-fashioned and hard to decipher, but nonetheless impeccably correct. I'd be interested to know where you found them, Jacek1.
