Removed my pathetic errors. I am such an obnoxious fool. I'm so sorry.

May 4, 2012 at 11:41 | comment | added | Ellie K | Oh, Yoichi I am so embarrassed! You are correct, and more than correct, by virtue of the combined weight of Merriam Webster, OED, OALED and Cambridge Dictionary. Sigh, I apologize. | |
May 3, 2012 at 23:28 | comment | added | Yoichi Oishi | Thanks for detailed answer. But as I was under impression that ‘into’ is a preposition, not adverb, I checked several dictionaries. Merriam Webster defines ‘into’ as a ‘preposition’ used as a function word to indicate entry, introduction, insertion, superposition, or inclusion: Examples: came into the house, enter into an alliance All of OED,OALED,and Cambridge Dictionary define ‘into’ simply as a preposition. | |
