“Although researchers have long agreed that girls have superior language abilities than boys”
Is it just me or is there something quite awkward about the phrase above?
Should be “ . . . girls’ language ability is superior to that of boys” (or “ . . . girls’ language abilities are superior to those of boys”). Must have been written by a man. Or a publik skool graduate. Or both.
Although researchers have long agreed that girls have superior language abilities than boys
Although researchers have long agreed that girls have language abilities superior to boys.
Agree, not a pretty sentence.
