Does she realize what a complete arsehole that makes her look? She'd rather go to jail than treat people like human beings?
He doesn't.
Personally I think pronouns should be abolished altogether - think of the cumulative time you could save by trimming the language like that. Trim the fat. After all, why use many word when few word do trick?
Said same thing to friend, earlier. Said to was a stupid idea and need functional words to build meaningful sentences. Don't agree with.
Yet here I am, reading your sentence twice to understand it.
Why read twice when once do trick?
