neutral  writeaway: That's not proper English!! "to" universities? no way/well, the rush to answer +the rush to close has messed up the glossary with pure Frenglish

neutral  Deborah do Carmo: must agree, definitely not "to"
4 mins
  -> agree
neutral  Natasha Dupuy: must also agree with writeaway. The glossary entry should be corrected.
6 mins
  -> agree
neutral  awilliams: this sounds very stilted
6 mins
  -> agree
neutral  Will Matter: This sounds funny, unnatural and very stilted to my native speaker ear.
46 mins
  -> agree see modification
disagree  Lara Barnett: Ds.Not sound idiomatic in English./// "Whether I like it or not" is IRRELEVANT. T. point is where is this used, in THIS context & in Native-English websites? such as UK-based, .co.uk etc...? ("Wheth. I like or not" is NOT relevant to my peer responses !
5961 days
  -> Whether you like it or not itis used. I prefer "of" and I had already commented on that.// Is the UK the only possible English language reference?
