Whoa. I don't remeber an internet stranger making me _this_ angry in a while. IMO I made a perfectly valid argument overall, expressing my _unfamilirity_ with the usage, then meaningfully engaging with all the cited proofs, spending my time refuting them, then, when confronted with a good one, I concluded that I was indeed unfamiliar. And after all this is over, the next day you come after me, lie, and shit talk me.…

So to sum up: You are unable to admit fault, are bad at regulating emotions, and are projecting.

I guess the reason that you come after me is that you feel that here's an opportunity to shittalk someone. (Which you tenchically can, even tho all of your points are wrong, or straigt up lies.)

Have you ever wondered why do you feel the need to do this?

edit: omfg I don't have time for this. In your other comment you wrote

> ... arrogant ... entitled ... fixed mindset ... Whatever it is, it's best viewed at a distance, like car crash.

Can I ask you to take your own advice, and kindly fuck off? (Including not talking to me, and not shittalking me in other threads.)

Thank you, I respect the effort put into this. The free time and skills that I did not have. I'm at this point more interested the Psychology of the readers who insisted "I don't know the phrase, and drew a blank, therefor it's wrong , broken , bad writing, how dare they not write for me". And refuse to listen to the contrary, indeed "refute" it (hah). It's something - entitled? Arrogant? Leaning into ignorance? Fixe…

> I'm at this more interested the Psychology of the readers Sure. In my head it looked like this: "I don't think this is an idiom" (meaning that either it is not an idiom or I am unfamiliar) "I am an authority on English, and it is an idiom" "Nah." "Here are the dictionaries" "It is not in the dictionaries" "Google it" "That's lazy, but sure. It is not on the internet" "Here, it is in a pdf used in education" "Fine"…
