Is this grammatically correct? omitting "and"

English Language & Usage Asked on December 20, 2020

It is terrifying when I see people demolishing cultural sites and monuments, "and" recording and posting them online.

Is it ok if I omit the second "and"?
Will it still make sense?

One Answer

As Greybeard says, in your sentence people are posting the cultural sites and monuments online. They're not. They are posting clips, films or movie clips. You need to rearrange it.

I think this would be the most precise way to say it:

It is terrifying to see, posted online, recordings people have made of themselves demolishing cultural sites and monuments.

Or possibly:

It is terrifying to see recordings people have made of themselves demolishing cultural sites and monuments being posted online.
