It seems all to hang at Justin B Rye's statement "Most English transitive verbs are pretty easygoing about being turned into intransitives like this, "to allow" is one of the exceptions" Sez who ? http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/allow has 5 items of "transitive verb" and 2 of "intransitive verb". Justin states further "(along with e.g. "to merit" - you can't say "does this merit?" - or "to recognise - you can't say "I recognise"). I recognize that i have not enough clue to judge the quality of a given piece of english language. So probably i will follow Justin's advise: "my preferred fix is usually to try to eliminate the word "allow" from the text completely," I burried "resp." a few weeks ago, i can as well burry "allow". With low priority. Have a nice day :) Thomas
