Don't you say "dabble into"
Saturday, January 23, 2016
Imagine this funny but annoying scenario:
I wrote a piece and sent to the designated quarter. When it came out in a publication, my "dabble with" was replaced with "dabble into".
I bet you can't imagine the anger I felt!
I simply looked at it that the fellow would have thought I was wrong and he was right; after all, "dabble into" is what we hear everyone say.
CAUTION: This is a blunder I know the majority of people commit, too often.
Sorry, may I sound it to your ears that you don't "dabble into", you simply "dabble with/in/at".
Any of "with", "in" and "at" is correct to collocate with "dabble".
Let me cite an example:
I hate people that "dabble with" other people's business (not "dabble into").
Kindly note!
