(I wouldn't say the English is quite ungrammatical either.)
Incidentally, I would suggest that {ci'izra} is better than {za'uzra} there.
-ci'i- being a rafsi for {cinri}, and {ci'i} being the number infinity
(contrasting with {ci} being 3), it seems to work on several levels at once.

I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.
