Once again . . . the meaning is perfectly clear, it’s uncluttered, and yet it’s sort of illogical.
Paraphrased from a book I’m reading:
I asked her to walk the dog if I was back late.
I mean, the ‘then’ seems to be preceding the ‘if’.I know - I should get out more - but I’ve developed adoraphobia.
Oh, that’s not a mistake or mistyping. I get so much romantic attention - and not a little of a less sentimental sort - when I’m out that it’s positively scary!
