At least we know it’s not an imposter.

One thing that bothers me is when someone starts a sentence with “If” and doesn’t finish it.

eg. If we can all arrive at 8am for kick-off.

I always thought it allowed people to fill in their own blank..

How do you feel about ending a sentence with “but”?

Because where I’m from, we do that.

Would it work with other comparisons?

More beautiful than.

Not only but also.

I don’t always but when I.

I have no problem with it:

“The fridge had already warmed up, but.”

fridges do that ay.

who is ‘social convention’ to dictate what is ‘stupid as’ ‘fast as’? besides all this constant feeding of people information never gets them to learn on their own. that’s what’s wrong with the world… We should finish all of our sentences early so people get their brains working to figure out the

Some words have room for numerous Sydney Harbours between the letters.

I’ll sometimes compare things to “the proverbial”, and let people choose their own proverbs.

K’noaf.

If you were to replace “but” with “however”, the sentence could work. People who end their sentences with “but” do not have the word “however” in their vocabulary. It is a close match in this context.

If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,

What about ending a sentence with “if”. sorta like “As if?”

I don’t like seeing if in the middle of a sentence either
If I had my way there’d be no ifs and I’m not real happy about but either.

Hope this is correct, relying on memory from about 50 years ago, and the poem was called “If” by Rudyard Kipling?

I have always liked the version if you can keep your head while all around everyone is losing theirs you probably don’t fully understand the situation.
