OK thanks for that. I was frustrated because I made the same change about a week ago and ZooBlazer changed it pretty much instantly. I messaged him but he never replied despite being online a lot, so I put it back because i just figured he thought it was a typo. Then you swapped it pretty much instantly too.

I'm not a meddler and I only make a change if I believe it to be an improvement. Despite being fairly knowledgeable about English grammar, I still double-checked everything (like I did with the Le/La thing despite being 99% sure), so to have it instantly dismissed twice was a bit of a kick in the teeth.

By the way, thanks for checking before editing, but I reeeeeeeaally wish you hadn't linked that first reference. It seriously irritates me when people blur the line of  'correct usage vs common error' into 'traditional vs modern'. I'm not sure why Jakub thinks "but lots of people get it wrong" means that exams should be marked differently...
