 @f42fdd5b I've never had to think about it before, so thanks for starting that rabbit hole! I hope it helps (not that grammatical rules make much sense themselves a lot of times).

Hee hee hee. In the past year or so, I've been noticing some of the odd usages we have in English. Some are covered in either the Oxford English Dictionary in my Kindle or in Wikipedia.

I've had a lot of fun learning some of this stuff. Interesting rabbit holes to explore.
