       @grammargirl Hi! I have a random question that's been bugging me for a while, wondering if you might have some insight: Have you noticed, and can you explain, the shift in people's preference from "based on" to "based off of" in everyday language?"The movie is based on the book."vs."The movie is based off of the book."
