If you think that was a sentence, your grammar credentials are well and truly buggered.
Debatable.

Pro-drop surely doesn't apply where what you're dropping is half a word.

If the word construction we have under consideration is, "wouldn't be surprised if this sentence is reduced on appeal" then (ignoring punctuation) the only thing needed to form a sentence is a personal pronoun. Whether you consider this dropping of the pronoun as correct or not depends on whether you view English as primarily a Romance or a Germanic language. It's almost certainly the latter, but there is debate.

This.

The joke* is the literal reduction of the sentence by characters, not words. I didn't know this was relevant, so I'm sorry if I failed to provide an explanation.

So f*ck you.










*Joke, admittedly, may be overstating it.

Some thing along the lines of:

"I wouldn't be surpris..."?
:haha:

I enjoyed it Micky, first laugh of a very hungover day!
