man crushes friend by properly conjugating ‘sink’

Following years of diligent toil and ceaseless effort, budding local wordsmith Andreiu Theobald Anbargian landed a killer blow by correctly using the conditional perfect of the word sink. Speaking with the primary intention of irking group-newcomer Bryce Dillon Flanders (who claims to have ‘attended’ Harvard but seems to have only a rudimentary knowledge of how the English language works), Anbargian reveled in his minor victory. “Had I not found this job, it would have sunk me,” he said offhand during conversation with a group of acquaintances after listening to Flanders actually count off the tenses of ‘sink’ on his left hand while screwing his eyes up at the ceiling.

Shortly after his conditionally perfect utterance, Anbargian went home to feed his cats.
