  • Why the downvote? Does a native speaker disagree that this is the more natural word order? Or that the quote in the question is intelligible?

  • I think that BadZen's complaint is legitimate. I feel that down-voters should identify themselves and explain why. Otherwise, the person answering is none the wiser. Nor are other readers.
