- Florin_Andrei 10y ago> "Let's go by Jeremy" Non-native English speaker living in California. I've heard that construct in CA quite a bit.
- ghaff 10y agoThough "Let's swing by Jeremy's" would be AFAIK pretty common across the US--although I suppose in that case there's a [house/place] implied by the possessive.
- abritinthebay 10y agoMake it possessive ("lets go by Jeremy's") and it would be perfectly normal English in my native south-east of England too. I think it's just a more just an archaic usage in American English.
- ema 10y agoTo which correct German sentence does "Let's go by Jeremy" correspond? Closest I can come up with is "Lass uns bei Jeremy vorbeischauen". Though in this case 'bei' has more of the meaning of 'at' and 'vorbeischauen' is an integral part of the sentence.
