I'm going to bow out of this conversation, wishing I hadn't jumped in. I think the word "encourage" is still imprecise and the whole thought is being presented backwards. However, this is not a hill I want to die on, and as a former copy editor, I have learned not to obsess about all of the grammatical, syntactical and punctuation mistakes I see daily. I do value accuracy, but I'm not up for this debate right now.
