| Feb 10, 2015 at 11:54 | comment | added | Lucie Duck | @Edwin - thanks for the helpful links; I'll certainly have a look at that! :) | |
| Feb 10, 2015 at 11:00 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | It might be 'justified' in the sense that OED lists it as an allowable usage. Have a look at tchrist's answer (for 'should after certain adjectives'; I think it's number 4 there) in the Confusing structures with modal verbs thread to see how complicated modal usage is. (I don't think he even gets to 'odd that you should have'!) But OED only tells us what is generally considered acceptable; asking for logical underpinning is usually futile. | |
| Feb 10, 2015 at 10:29 | comment | added | Lucie Duck | But how does one justify the statement that 'it's just a different way of saying the same thing?' he seems to have arrived at the conclusion just like that. | |
| Feb 10, 2015 at 10:20 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | And neither can I. Here is a discussion from another website: 'from my book: 2. It's surprising that he should say/should have said that to you.' _ Bob8964 So, for "It [was] strange you said that", do[es this] mean that we can use either of the following forms to express the same meaning? 1. It [was] strange that you should say it. 2. It [was] strange that you should have said it.// 'e2efour Senior Member: "It's just a different way of saying the same thing."
