Synopsis
Excerpt from Helpful Hints in English: A Companion Volume to "Better Say;" A Book of Helpful Suggestions for the Correct Use of English Words and Phrases
AN idiom is not an error, and an error does not rise to the dignity of an idiom.
An idiom is a crisp, compact form of speech, full of condensed, vigorous meaning, but defiant of all rules of grammar or logic; as, look out, let go, let alone, hold on (meaning stop), I can't stand it, etc.
