Re: Our customer demanded we / asked us to Odd. When I wrote the answer, the last sentence of the first paragraph ran There's no rhyme nor reason for it as far as I know. But I deleted it as I wondered if rhyme or reason might be a British expression and be a bit distracting.
But as you used it in the reply, it's clearly not. I wonder what the origin is? Rhyme here presumably stands for regularity so it makes sense ... but I wonder where it came from? |
