Proper sentence ?
Message from dietch posted on 14-09-2011 at 16:08:17 (D | E | F)
Hello,

I am wondering if the following sentence is correct :
"How can this not have been revealed way sooner?"
I'm pretty sure it's OK, but you know... I'm learning.

Thanks,
All the best.

Hello,

Way ? Not very clear...
Are you talking about a "way" which couldn't have been revealed sooner ?
By the way, "not" seems not to be where it should be...
I have doubts about "how", too...

Hello

Your sentence is a bit convoluted but I find no great fault with it. But it would be clearer and simpler to say:

Why wasn't this revealed much sooner?

Your use of "way" is fine, but informal and seems out of place in the context. Lien Internet
