So do “based on” and “based off” now. I can’t figure where “based off” came from or why we need it. A base has always been something you put things on. Things sit ON a base. They’re based ON it. Don’t get me started. Ok, too late… sorry.
My daughter says based off. Come to think of it I remember long ago noticing that DJs say a song is “off” an album and thinking no, songs are ON albums. OCD is a beautiful thing.
