minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•2 months agoYour example doesn’t quite fit the crime. A better example would be. “I ran and catch upped to him.” Or “These clothes are available to be try onned.” To be fair I once asked an Italian what was the hardest part of English and they said compound verbs, so maybe they’re just not native English. That’s my charitable explanation anyway. If not I’m joining the hunt!
