Hi, that's a good question. Please see my previous posts.

Also, maybe we could say because "that's how it is"? I wouldn't want to say that, but maybe that's how it is.

Is there a sound reason to say that everything that deviates from widespread and accepted usage is wrong? Do we really need a sound reason in this case? In other cases we seem not to need a reason.

What's wrong with saying "Jill walk home every day."? Why do we need the "s"?
