American grammar simplification is pushing to have it otherwise, but that is incorrect and nonsensical.<br /><br />We don't need blanket black-and-white rules for everything-- the world itself is nuanced!LiteralDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704368269389527451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076041415469800377.post-56986111363290367992009-04-17T11:14:00.001-05:002009-04-17T11:14:00.001-05:00Hey, is that monkey double flipping off the camera...Hey, is that monkey double flipping off the camera?
