Sufjan Stevens Instagram – This is one of the worst sentences I’ve ever read in the New Yorker. First, there’s a comma splice. Second, none of these descriptions of “the voice” relate. A low rasp suggests obstruction (phlegm). Slithering suggests sliding seamlessly like a snake (a nimble action). Wheezy suggests asthma (not enough air). Choose one. Thirdly, what do leprechaun’s lament? And by sell-by-date, are you referring to Lucky Charms cereal? Because that’s a mixed metaphor if I’ve ever seen one. Someone went out of their way to concoct this hot mess. The copy editor should be fired. Also, did you ask the leprechaun what their pronouns are?
