Not at all. You seem to be making your argument based on a use being common or uncommon. Being less common does not mean less fitting or less possible. Anyway, moving on. I think we have effectively flagellated this deceased equine. ;-)

Maybe we should pour some cold water on the poor thing!!! :up: Better, yet, maybe we should just agree to disagree! ;-)

Use "I didn't know that", not "I hadn't know that".
