Yes, but with "fixing" the structure, you have robbed it of colloquialism. Maybe it's just me projecting.

I lived among non-native speakers for the longest time, and shaped my English using my knowledge of other languages to bridge some gaps in communication. Now I'm back to a native environment and catch myself slipping up with my invented phrases.

The thing is, I can't find another combination of words to convey the exact sentiment so succintly, even though I'm not sure it's gramatically correct.

You can assume whatever you like.

Man, English is so wacky. After reading that post twice the structure fell apart in my mind, and I'm a native speaker. Hats off to anyone who picked up the language along the way.

He has to go to ever further extents to quiet the demons that most of us had to cope with since adolescence.

To drive the point home, he'll never be able to make any new authentic connections in his life (if he ever could in the past). While it is a bit copium, and I am as frothy in the mouth about his antics as any well-meaning individual, I do find it one of the constant, if smallest, wins.

This'll just ensure a republican win, will it not?

Yeah, but what happens if not? Do we get the VEEP as the leader of the 'free world'?

I think I might never use that phrase again!

I came in thinking someone would link some alternative porn to a lost soul, and it never even crossed my mind that they might be looking for work.

It felt attentive, and I just wanted to convene (so very poorly) that your company must be a pleasure.

So Trump is keeping promises?

I have a feeling you're fun at parties.
