People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

Mark NSFW content.
No doxxing people.
Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
No international politcs
Be excellent to each other.
Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

there should be an “on” in place of “to” there?

No.

Is it correct grammar?

Yes.

is this some weird quirk of the second language experience

Probably connected to how your native language would construct a similar sentence.

Thanks! That’s surprising. We’d actually use the equivalent of “to” here too. Weird how our foreign language intuition works. I go by how sentences “taste” when I read them and it’s usually correct, this time somehow it has a weird encumbered taste with the “to”, yet it is correct.

If only the day-to-day autopilot part of the mind would work from what we’ve learnt literally as opposed to some weird personal associative “feeling”. Or maybe that’s just me..

Anyway, thanks!
