My friend said
"Staying with my parents isn't very conducive towards productivity."
and I argued that it should be
"Staying with my parents isn't very conducive towards/to high productivity." or "Staying with my parents isn't conducive to being productive."
He was arguing that "conducive" implies it improved productivity but I don't think the "conducive" works like that. I'm not sure if this would be considered a grammatical error or a logical one, or even an error at all.
@WastedT1me,
I think it's fine. So is your last example.
Language is changing all the time and what really matters is that you're clear about what you want to communicate and others understand your meaning.
