Is the sentence correct?

I don't like these either.

"Mr Gupta gathered on the lawn" doesn't make sense, sorry.

You know that it has never been a question of an individual liking or not liking any given collocation, McTag.

It's abundantly clear that this isn't simply about Mr Gupta.

I don't wish to confuse Ms. Tan any more than she must be already.

(And, btw, I do agree with McTag on this one.)

To a large extent, so do I, Merry.

No one is ever confused by attempting to get at the truth. That's a prescriptive idea.
