I don't understand the wording of your first sentence. Did you mean "idiotic" or?



Yes, thanks. I know what idiomatic means, but the OP either does not or just wrote an awkward sentence.


Pat probably meant 'idiosyncratic' instead of 'idiomatic' (unless it's a non-idiomatic use of 'idiomatic').


'Idiosyncratic' is clearer, though 'idiomatic' is valid and what I wished to say, but in its secondary definition: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/idiomatic (see def 2)


Oh, OK. I've never seen "idiomatic" used with a negative connotation before.
