Actually it’s none of those things. Just... frequent injuries. That’s all.

And no, there’s nothing more interesting to talk about. It’s August 13, we’re pretty much at peak “burn it to the ground” phase. It’ll allllll get better soon... maybe.
Dude....

The word “prone” is UNRELATED to the word “frequent”.

Prone to injury means likely to happen. Frequency has nothing to do with future susceptibility.

It’s a language peeve I’m having with this one.
