      LPT: Statements that include the word “problematic” can be safely ignored. If the speaker could articulate the problem, they would.

        Its pretty problematic that in the year of our lord 2025 people still listen to Panic! At the Disco. I will not articulate further

          I believe not. “Problematic” here is included for clarity. This can be avoided by just saying that sentences which include such words can be safely ignored. Such words being problematic…

          But I think you get the point. The word is not really part of the sentence. It can be excluded without loss of meaning provided sufficient context.
