Oops BBC. Eliminates tuition /fees/.
- HlessClaudesman 3y agoYes, "tuition" is the act of teaching, which I hope was not eliminated. Someone does not pay tuition, they pay "for tuition", Americans seem to have dropped the for. Linguistic divergence is not a new phenomenon, perhaps we will have two completely different Englishes in a few centuries?
- chrisjj 3y ago> Someone does not pay tuition, they pay "for tuition", Americans seem to have dropped the for. Given this headline doesn't say "pay" either. I don't see how restoring "for" can help it. And note the headline is by the BBC - not Americans. I put it down to error, not language.
