i want a ladder that gets up faster...

What does this even mean?

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

The subject of your sentence is "ladder."

The sentence wants the ladder to have a property. That property is "reached faster up."

"Reached faster up" then must be an adjective of some definition ("taller" "redder" etc)

It is, however, a verb, an adjective, and a supporting noun.

Removing the adjective and the verb, leaving the noun we get "a ladder, which is up" which makes no sense.

 

Lets try again with the verb, as some verbs could be appropriate (e.g. "climbed")

That gives us, "a ladder, which is reached."

But this doesn't make any sense either. Any ladder that is too far away cannot be reached and reaching it is not a property of the ladder, but of the distance relationship between myself and the ladder.

 

So we have to try again with the adjective modifying the supporting noun, "faster."

"A ladder, which is faster."

Faster how?

In which case, I advise not trying to interpret the bad English of another poster. ;)
