[Magdalen] Grammar Nightmare.

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

I think it's fair to say that two things have nailed the coffin on this

1. You can barely tell the two apart in a sentence.

2. Using the incorrect form makes absolutely no difference in the meaning
or clarity of the sentence.

Pointless.
