@mrudokas Given their equivalence, people will choose according to personal/organizational style. That’s almost the definition of an idiom. -
@warrenm If that equivalence wasn’t burned into your knowledge, would it be hard to deduct the meaning of “new”? -
@mrudokas Immediate clarity is not essential to idiomatic expression. What matters is not clarity to the ingenue but the exp. practitioner.
