Through the troughs of school, feeding me all those "delicious" spelling woes!
Maybe "thoroughly" would fit better..
It's correct as written. Think of it like "see this through" or taught this "through and through". You can say "taught this through" to mean, "taught this completely/well".
I’ve never seen anyone use a singular “through” as a synonym for “thoroughly”. Maybe it’s a regional thing?
As a native speaker, fuck, fuck this fucking language.
As a non-native speaker, I couldn't agree more
The English language is difficult, but it can be understood through tough, thorough thought.
i gave up and just read thot tho
thou thoroughly thought this through.
Though thorough throughout, I came here for thoughts on thots.
it's still tough "throughout", Shirley.
