I guess it's just another case of American English versus actual English. Also note: just because it's widely used doesn't make it correct.

Itym "on the verge"Actually, given enough time and usage it does. That's how the language changes over time and why I don't speak like someone from the 1800's.
I'm guessing the reason BOGO is more prevalent than BOGOF is more pronunciation based than anything. I've always said it and heard it as "boe'-go". Nice and rhyme-y. Adding the F ruins that.
Given all that, I can be as annoyed and pedantic as anyone. "Irregardless" still drives me nuts, for instance, and I think that one is in the verge of being considered proper. It'll be another flammable/inflammable situation.
Looks like you are a PA skier. Where do you ski regularly?I’m planning on taking short skication in early Dec. 2019. 4 nights and 3 ski days. What is the best / cheapest way to get 2 kids (12 and under) and 2 adults ski tickets. Could be a ski and stay combination. We are not planning on any other trips and our home ski area is not affiliated with any passes. Any thoughts? Thanks
Blue during weekdays mostly. I think they finally opened up the full mountain this weekend. Looking for some nice skiing this week.Looks like you are a PA skier. Where do you ski regularly?
I've probably skied Blue Mtn more than any other Pocono resort, but now ski at Killington on a season pass. I don't know about great deals, sorry. For early season conditions, Killington and Mt Snow are hard to beat. We usually take our first trip north in early December to make it worth the drive. While I love Killington, Mt Snow might have a better layout for a family ski trip. There is some nice steep stuff on the north side, but mostly intermediate terrain on the main face. Everything except the parks can be accessed from the peak. Killington is really spread out and you can easily lose your party.Blue during weekdays mostly.

Thanks, I’ll check out Mt. Snow as a destination also.

We finally made it to Sugarbush and it was worth it. Lots of moguls with just enough ice to get a nice grip. Best run of the day my daughter took a look at Stein's headwall and said no way so we proceeded to Egan's woods. Great snow in there.
Some groomed top to bottom blue trails for families too.
Pretty sure you can get a guide for that area from ski school.I've been in a bind because I don't want to take my kids down slidebrook without remembering the route, but don't want to do it alone first.
We arrive at Showshed by bus, often warm up on High Road, Cruise Control (blue) and hit Panic Button/Needle's Eye (black/blue) then move to Bittersweet (blue), Skyelark (blue/black), and Superstar (black) pod. Or jump over to Skyeburst (blue/black), Bear Claw (blue) and Wildfire (black). This works great on weekends and holidays for the high-speed quads and shorter lines compared to the gondolas, but Needle's Eye quad doesn't run weekdays. Highline (black) on Snowdon is an option after its easier blues if not fully occupied by the race team.
Sitting in the lodge, most everything on wind hold. Not the windiest I seen here.
Snow and a little sleet. It's supposed to be mostly sleet later today, but snow into tomorrow. I'm here for the week, so good for now relaxing inside. May head back out later if a few lifts open and the crowds die down.What is falling out of the sky?
