Dookieman12@piefed.social 6 days agoLet me try writing a rule for it.
“Given two lists, the word “respectively” indicates the n-th item in each list corresponds to the n-th item in the other list.”

It’s not that it’s hard to write a rule for “respectively”. It’s that it needs its own rule, specifically. The general rules don’t cover it.
