Hi,

I was contacted offlist to suggest it's just a dictionary thing that
really doesn't rise above the level of a high-school question, the
sentiment being if the words work as written in the dictionary, then use
them.

That's a reasonable thought that perhaps, and certainly for me, doesn't
address national differences in language use, such as Canadian versus
Parisian French, British versus American English, and Costa Rican versus
Spanish Spanish.

Cheers,

Sean
