From something I read:
"One spoke about religion, another about politics, and the last taught math in school."
There's something non-parallel here. Let's put everything in order:
"One spoke about religion, another discussed politics, and the last taught math in school."
That sentence still sounds strange to me. It sounds like you're describing speakers at a meeting, so the last phrase doesn't fit.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. I was more concerned with parallelism than sense!
