I have a question: „I appreciate the inconvenience... f.e: I appreciate the inconvenience but we can't through until the road is clear.“ Does this sentence or the phrase sound so strange? One of my friend and his American friend said this one is absolutely strange. That made me confused because I learned it by a British teacher at a language school which has all native speaker from US, UK, Canada, Australia, South Africa etc. They teach us with textbooks. And they usually tell us when some grammar, words and things sounds strange for the teacher, or if it is just American or British English.  So I know that there are lots of things that it sounds strange for some native speaker. I want to hear your opinion. Thanks in advance.🐰
