| May 20, 2023 at 3:11 | comment | added | JK2 | @TinfoilHat That's an interesting observation, which I think could be dealt with in a separate post. Note that CGEL doesn't specify the usage as peculiar to a certain dialect. | |
| May 20, 2023 at 2:54 | comment | added | Tinfoil Hat | These both sound exceedingly wrong to me (American English): They had none of them intended to cause so much ill will. Her parents had both of them felt she had been exploited. | |
