Welcome to Wikipedia.

Please feel free to use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

 * I am not sure what you are talking about. I see no harm in adding elegant variation to a page, and by proxy to the Wikipedia corpus as a whole, by using an alternate construction, especially one which is not forbidden within Wikipedia's style guide, does not add any ambiguity whatsoever, and is favored by sources as esteemed as the American Heritage Dictionary. I absolutely cannot see any point in these squabbles over linguistic prescription, especially when the very article you linked confirms that many actually favor this construction. Indeed, it comes from a similar place of origin as similar "odd" constructs such as "to be possessed of." If you believe there is any problem with my edits, please demonstrate how there is any actual harm in their addition. 69.24.161.108 (talk) 15:06, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
