and I think in some cases there might be collocation issues as well, which will be very hard to grasp for non native speakers. For example (in British English at least, I think), We will eat outside, weather allowing. is not correct though it sounds ok, rather it should be We will eat outside, weather permitting. because allowing does not collocate in this sentence.
