      XPost: rec.puzzles, alt.usage.english       From: HenHanna@NewsGrouper              I played this Sudoku until it was available at        https://www.brainbashers.com/bbtesters.asp but since yesterday        afternoon the page changed              ____________________              Since the above text is not quite grammatically correct, I gave it to my AI       to see if it can explain its peculiarity (or characteristic usage pattern).              My AI insists that it is grammatical and idiomatic, etc.              For example, it says:               ---------- This usage shows strong command of English temporality,       not a literal Italian-influenced error (e.g., finché directly translating to       "until" fits naturally here).                     Very puzzling!              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
