minus-squareTheTechnician27@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12arrow-down2·18 hours agoI will inform you that this excerpt is correct English. There needn’t be an article like “a” or “the” before “possibility”. It reads awkwardly in everyday language, but that really is just innocent “legalese” phrasing.
minus-squarebobzer@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up8·17 hours agoThanks for the correction. Rereading it I can kind of see if they mean possibility as an abstract concept, so I’ll take the L on it. But I still maintain it’s a pretty fucked way of phrasing it.
