Poor English
For those English purist out there, you probably spotted an English error in my last article. I said "I fell down".
Apparently, it is poor English to say "fell down" because the definition of "fall" is "To drop or come down freely under the influence of gravity". So the "down" is redundant in "fall down".
Sometimes, things can become very ingrained in our minds and they become part of our belief systems and character that we do them or believe them without a second thought about it.
But sometimes, we can be wrong...
