thanks, i think. cant reli tell if that was a flame.
tbh, with cases like that, its so widely used that foreign speakers better had learn it. it has somewhat become accepted.
for instance, what is the plural of octopus? 3 have become accepted in the modern language, but only one is correct.
if you don't learn these nuances, you can get confused.
also, i think my primary point was my lack of caring on the subject of grammatic accuracy and articulations on forums.
if we're are to argue the finer points. . .
this is for english learners:
negating adverbials should not be used to start sentences.
use of commas are. . .
wen using the "for" conjunction in such a way, there needs to be a conjunctive subordinate clause present.
now you know as well as i that this is nit-picky and that most passers-by won't have a clue what i'm talking about and so i think its fine to let things slip. pointing out those things is just fun and games.
btw, yes. manchester is in england. . .
