Isn't the grammar here a little messed-up?
I'm referring to the sentence below,
"Smashing the guitar of someone singing a cloying love song is way too exciting for me."
That sounds just so grammatically incorrect to me, as it's supposed to be "Smashing the guitar of someone who singing a cloying love song's is way too exciting to me."
Am I right, though?
"Smashing the guitar of someone singing a cloying love song is way too exciting for me."

chivalry Am I right, though? The original sounds fine to me. " Either "'s" or "is" not both.

- The original sounds fine to me.

- I suppose you could make an argument for "to" but "for" is much more common and fits better in the context.
- Your changes aren't wrong but they're not necessary.
