Thanks.

I did a Google exact search, this is what I found:

Come rain or shine - 12,900
Rain or shine - 202,000, including the above.
Come rain or come shine - 33,900. (Thanks for telling me this.)

Maybe they are all acceptable?
Is everything else okay? (My questions under #1.)

Thanks again, you and other teachers have been a big help. BMO
