Hello,
I was wondering if someone could help with this seemingly American English question.
(I was educated under the British English system and relatively new to American English.)
DD found this in a reading comprehension passage:
"JaneDoe never did anything 'just because'".
And then a question asking for the exact meaning of the phrase "just because" by itself without say "just because A blah blah B" and such.
The phrase seems colloquial even teenage lingo..right? legit english?
sorry don't mean to split hairs on this but I will know better than to ignore what I think is colloquial !
