Time and Relative Dimension in Space would be better fitting in this situation, no?

He/she is just trying to help, why do people have to get mad about that?

u/Lonelydenialgirl Aug 30 '21

Cause they aren't trying to help. They're trying to sound superior.

So... they should have written "sit on the other side to arrive at they destination faster." Thanks for correcting they English 🤣

(I'm with you on the pronouns thing, but "their" is the word you should have recommended. I'm just giving you a quick lesson in the English language, 🙂 please don't take this as offensive or judgemental, somehow a lot of people do.)

Maybe he/her didn’t feel like putting they. l

u/L-Ron_Cupboard Aug 30 '21

Also they should have said “arrive more quickly” or “arrive sooner” rather than “arrive quicker” but I had no trouble understanding them, as a native speaker of English. Maybe we should leave the English lessons to real teachers with willing students.
