Aug 10, 2010 at 22:18 | comment | added | Bryan Downing | It seems that many grammar "rules" are subjective. I will forever use the solution proposed by VonC because it is easy to remember and never wrong (until somebody proves it wrong here). I am, after all, just a noob here too. | |
Aug 10, 2010 at 21:23 | comment | added | VonC | While I am not saying you are wrong (I am just a noob here), I really struggle with your merriam-webster entry. The examples going with 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d (or any other examples for "that") have little to do with the OP's examples. | |
