The chances of a deal are said to be weeks away, if not non-existent.

What kind of non-sentence is that?

[-] holycrap@lemm.ee 36 points 2 months ago

It's an existing sentence if it's not non-exisent.

[-] leisesprecher@feddit.org 20 points 2 months ago

Big if true and big.

[-] tatterdemalion@programming.dev 22 points 2 months ago

Seems like a perfectly cromulent English sentence to me.

[-] GrappleHat@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 months ago

Looked up "cromulent" in the dictionary. Wasn't disappointed!!

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

The fact it's now in the dictionary proper is bizarre... but I mean... so is "okay." And that's almost the same ascended joke.

It's what they most not the least

The kind of sentence you write when you're still 20 words from the target your editor set for the article

The chances of the coin flip yielding heads are roughly 50%, if coins don't not exist.

It feels like it's saying "if rumors are true, the deal is weeks away." A reminder that it might not be the case.

It means when the author was waiting for his order at Popeyes, the guy in front who did small talk with him introduced himself as a Gitlab employee and told the author "Gitlab might sell in weeks. It is a deal or no deal"
