Faulty parallelism weakens your writing primarily by creating unbalanced sentences. When elements in a sentence are not presented in a parallel structure, it can lead to confusion and disrupt the flow of the writing. This lack of balance makes it harder for readers to follow your thoughts and undermines the clarity and effectiveness of your message. While it may also contribute to a sense of repetition or make the writing seem illogical, the core issue is the imbalance in sentence structure.
