Discover LudwigThe phrase "rather than argue" is grammatically correct and can be used in written English.
This phrase is typically used to express a preference or choice between two options. It suggests that rather than engaging in an argument or disagreement, the speaker or writer would prefer to do something else. Example: "I decided to leave the room rather than argue with my boss about the project." In this sentence, the speaker chose to avoid an argument by leaving the room. Another example could be: "I'd rather have a calm discussion with my partner rather than argue about the dishes not being done." This suggests that the speaker prefers communication over conflict in resolving a domestic issue.
