Liat,
So far, you have kept dodging my questions; did you or did you not search under the heading I had suggested? And what have you found? Let’s hear it. If you want to publish finding on one side, you have to do that on the opposite side. You know as well as I do, there are plenty of usages found in main stream media. So for you to be so firm on telling me being wrong, I have this to say.
I hope I am reading wrong about you but I am beginning to raise doubt. Are you challenging me because I am not a native? True, I am not and I make mistakes from time to time; but if I didn’t reveal my identity, you couldn’t have never known, or could you? Away from Google, “He is in troubles again with the laws” is not a wrong sentence and I am saying this with conviction. I don’t need a dictionary to tell me that. I understand, dictionary is your bible and I appreciate that. To me it’s fine for one’s own reference, not for an argument to prove his depth. If you think I am contradicting myself, feel free. I can’t stop you. I am not here to make claims that my English is perfect. But I can honestly say, I have strived to come as close as possible over the years, and I am willing to listen to any convincing and constructive criticism. But If you just want to recite what your dictionary said, anyone can do that. Enough said, let’s just say, we agree to disagree. Perhaps, one of us is using substandard English.
