This is a question Irrational Hatred

People who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

do you have the same problem with 'fell asleep'
or 'fell in love' or 'fell sick'?
I quite like 'fell pregnant'. It's more expressive than the neutral 'became pregnant' cos it has negative implications.

I think the point is
that it's like 'fell ill' as if you didn't mean to do it... regardless, I think Nanny Pat needs some help.

No. Just 'fell pregnant'
'Fell' pregnant makes it sound like conception happened up against some bins round the back of a Wetherspoons
