Two questions.
1. Does 'worse yet' make sense? I think that 'worse still' makes sense rather than 'worse yet'. Could you tell me if I'm right or wrong?
2.Does 'there is no right or wrong, just opinions.' mean 'there is not right or wrong, but opinions.' ?
Thanks. |

Wrong, sort of. Worse yet and Worse still both work fine here.

It means people believe that there is no right thing to do and nothing you do is ever wrong, there is only different opinions (like choices or preferences).
