Aug 11, 2010 at 6:51 comment added Vincent McNabb Forcing me to do research, hmph! :P Yes, I really should back up what I say with supporting references more often.
Aug 11, 2010 at 4:25 comment added VonC Now that is a much more detailed answer :) +1. As Bryan says, I will keep the "simple rule" I mentioned before, but I realize now it is by no means an absolute one.

Aug 10, 2010 at 22:40 comment added Vincent McNabb @VonC - just a noob! Ha! Reading everything you have written here only proves that you have an excellent grasp of the English language. I will update my post to include more references.
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.
