Grammar
Type of usage 'If and just'.
He desired to ascend back to some 'higher level,' if you will with the brutal diligence of disrespecting people who represented poor choices. Should the sentence starting with 'If' be a new sentence?
'If' often starts a conditional sentence but not always right. Could it not be an interjection with two commas also? Likewise should 'just' be the start of a new sentence too. It's not a subordinate conjunction. You do see people using just this way though. He was leaving the bank to go to the store, just as she was leaving work.
He rushed towards the goals and netted another one. Just like a world cup goal scorer. I wasn't sure because it's a word that feels like a contrast as apposed to a new sentence?
