Sentences
Which of these sentences is correct:
a) "My grasp of grammar is still flawed."
b) "My grasp of grammar is still defective."
Top answer
Figurative "grasp" is a live metaphor, which means that you shouldn't stray too far from its literal meaning when you embellish. Your grasp is weak, and you could go as far as vague. "Flawed" and "defective" are too specific and literal in their own right.

The grammar is OK, but I think some better adjectives might be tenuous, weak, or imperfect. flawed seems all right to me, but not defective.
