In the sentence in question—and, yes, it is a sentence—“this” is a demonstrative pronoun, referring to the previously stated idea. Not including the antecedent “is an error of formality, not correctness.” (Garner’s Modern American Usage, p.260, 3e)

I feel bad defending her - it is a horribly-written letter and she is an awful person - but the thought expressed is surely complete, given that the subject is clearly identified in the previous sentence.

mimick @mimick.bsky.social

I think the biggest problem with this sentence is that it doesn't explain what's wrong with the captain of the Titanic teaching to future captains. I'm sure he knew well his job and it would be great for a future captain to know more about an incident from the perspective of a captain.

This is a weird thing to get super defensive about. I don’t have a PhD but I teach college students and my university style guide would suggest that if a sentence doesn’t express a complete thought it’s an incomplete sentence.

Carnivorous Plant 📜🛑📊🎨 @drosera154.bsky.social

Key point: “style guide”. Style guides express a preferred way of writing but are not on the same level as grammatical rules. Your university and the AP disagree on what constitutes a complete sentence. Same thing as whether baptists or lutherans teach “true Christianity.”

Exxon Valdeez Nuts @leftcoastnv.bsky.social

It’s about context. Casually, conversationally, that’s absolutely correct. In academic writing, which is the perspective Harvard is coming from, it’s more correct to have a complete idea in one sentence as opposed to an idea spread across two sentences connected by a clause.

Exactly. Let's not sink to the alt-right's lows of misinformation. Even if it means less internet points. Instead, we should share Harvard's actual response to this letter if/when one is made, and not miss-caption the fake one. But it won't be as memey, so it probably won't get the spread.

I mean, I get it, but if you're going to show your ignorance with drivel like this, my holy crap, doesn't she have a staff? Someone who could have proof read the final product before firing it off to a prestigious university? Oh, #MAGAts are idiots, you say? Can confirm.

They can only hire trump loyalists. Trump loyalists are idiots. The person who could have proofread it for her didn’t get the job. There is also an element of not being smart enough to understand what you are sending to Harvard is embarrassing. Should be embarrassing, anyway.

I’m betting she did use an assistant for writing help but you know the array of choices in McMahon’s office from which to choose had to be “slim pickins”.

Assistant or not, it’s a reflection on her incompetence either to write a professional letter or rely on qualified staff. Professional offices invariably require a second set of eyes to eliminate blunders in documents. This letter is the work of an amateur in both content and form.

The thing is she won't understand what they have done. She won't know why it's wrong and neither will any of the Trump voters. It's why they voted for him against those who are educated.

I really can't stand grammar Nazis and when you're the world's most famous university it looks even worse. It's the sort of thing that people will make people think you're a bit out of touch and elitist.

I really can’t stand how our society has let professional writing degrade to the point where a university can find that many obvious corrections in a letter sent by the person in charge of the nation’s federal education system. It’s not elitist to expect more from the people running our government.

I don't believe for a second that those "corrections" were from a Harvard academic. Many of them are not grammatical at all, merely stylistic. I would also expect an Harvard academic to have picked up the misspelling of "largesse".

In English, the language being discussed, you can spell it two ways. You bringing in French is utterly irrelevant. Not a complex thing to understand.

Largesse is correct. A noun meaning generosity in bestowing money or gifts upon others.

Seems a bit weird to comment on specific language errors at all. Maybe in secondary school. For an academic paper the actual errors, like assets vs GDP, would be pointed out with a general suggestion to look over language.
