I am glad you have no issues with its content and that matters most.
I am not here to teach you grammar but consult more on that then you will know it is not a mistake. English grows at frenetic pace and it appears the bus left you behind just get in on a cab to catch up
mostly /ˈməʊs(t)li /
▸ adverb as regards the greater part or number:
[emoji122]
the culprits are mostly, but not exclusively, male.[emoji122]
[emoji830] usually; generally:
I made some good friends, but mostly met closed-minded people.
Do I need to reiterate education is a human right at par with the right to live and school pregnancies are mostly fruition of statutory rape.
Beyond comprehension!The issue is "mostly fruition"; an Adverb "Mostly" preceding a Noun "Fruition" which is wrong.
"mostly met" an adverb preceding a verb = correct
"exclusively, male." correct even in the absence of comma between "exclusively and male" because "exclusively" is an adverb and "Male" is adjective.
you copied from: here
Your "mostly fruition" is incorrect.
""mostly fruition" of statutory rape" incorrect.
"mostly a fruition of statutory rape" "mostly a result of statutory rape" = Correct, I am really sorry to pop your bubble.
No matter at what pace English grows the rules remain the same: "adverb precedes verb, adjective or another adverb. Adverb will never go before a Noun" sorry to rupture your bubble!
