I'm quoting from someone else's post:

''I came to know that the word, nimravus means false sabertoothed tiger. My query is, what does false sabertoothed refer to? I know sabertoothed means having teeth that resemble sabers. But how come is it false as well as sabertoothed? Or does it mean that they are false tigers?''

Question:

Isn't that sentence wrong ''but how come is it false as well as sabertoothed?''? Shouldn't it be ''but how come it is false as well as sabertoothed''?
