Jan 28, 2020 at 18:22 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | My point about feeling of is essentially a stylistic choice. It adds nothing to the intended meaning, and it clashes with preceding "clipped" peer pressure (not hyphenated, just a shorter way of saying pressure from peers). You could say avoiding can hinder a person from remaining X is also just a stylistic choice, but that second one would probably be classed as "clumsy, awkward" by more people than would agree with me regarding feeling of. Both are "syntactically valid" - it's just a matter of whether they're "natural, idiomatic". | |

Jan 28, 2020 at 18:12 | comment | added | Bao | A thousand mention of gratitude for accommodating & accounting my query, as well as introducing me to a foreign word(felicitous)! But, if it's not too much to ask, ma'am, may I know the reason why it could be beneficial to disregard feeling of? | |

Jan 28, 2020 at 17:12 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | The full (subscription-only) OED has it marked as obsolete. But even if you replaced it by a more "current" term (such as honest, moral, decent), the sequence ...can hinder a person from remaining XXX would not be "felicitous". If you like the word integrity, consider something like ...can make it difficult to retain one's integrity or similar. And it's just the need to conform - forget about including feeling of there. | |
