OK, grammar hang-up time. I see the word "ostensibly" used frequently in content on this site, and sometimes it strikes me as out of place, but I haven't bothered to work out why. Until NOW! (cue dramatic sound effect)

When I was in high school, an older friend/mentor decided I would be a good friend for his younger brother. We were about the same age, but we had no interests in common and he was a very unhealthy person.
