It might be because we enjoy 'freedom of expression'. That has led to great innovation in the use of the english language

I agree. If your participle is dangling. That sounds like a serious medical condition to me!

We can forgive the British Commonwealth countries for mispronouncing "aluminum" as AL-U-MIN-EE-UM since they spell it that way, "aluminium"! But how the heck do they get "LEFT TENANT" out of "lieu........"?

I know you really meant propositioned, but accidentally hit the wrong key since a preposition is something else altogether

Probably because to them, a 'loo' is a toilet?
"In British slang, of which there is a great deal, the word loo refers to a toilet. I assume they do not want to give the impression that a leftenant is a resident of a toilet as in loo-tenant."
