i didn't use it as a noun, re-read the sentence again.

(consider an invisible i.e. before analysis)

oh, and now you got it, thanks.

[PancakeBrah]

word. it would be 'parsing' then.

either way

you wrong.

[Ryan 12]

okay, then why place analysis in brackets, since it means precisely the same thing, brah?

White niggas arguing over parsnips

Damn the hood done changed

[Certain]

Instead of "for parse," it should have said "to parse."

[Ryan 12]

actually, i just realized i should have replaced "for" with "to"


oops


(edit - what certain said)

[PancakeBrah]

Yes. But if you were to use for, 'parsing' makes the sentence work. Both options work. But 'for parse' doesn't.

@Certain for confirmation.

[Ryan 12]

i was being abstract, though. that's my excuse.


as in, do you even parse, bro?



it's grammatically overridden.

@Certain for confirmation.

"For parsing" works because "parsing" is used as a gerund noun. (An argument could be made that an article is required, such that it should say "for a parsing," but articles are not always necessary.) Moreover, PancakeBrah, your initial analysis was correct, that "for" requires a noun.

remember that guy who studied english at oxford?

and he couldn't use the word earnest correctly?

lmao fuck him.

@Ryan 12 use abstractions as a last line of defence. also: definitions are the last resort of the scoundrel.

[Ryan 12]

irony 101; i call @Certain to parse Totoro's op - he ends up parsing mine



Certain, just be happy i called you to do the parsing (since i figured you were capable of it)
