In the Grand Valley, in the early 19th century, in the book Swing That Music, by Louis

Armstrong & Horace Gerlach (1936): IN THE GROOVE : When inspired after music, when playing in exalted spirits and to perfection.

The earliest I can find this usage in Google Books is from 1932. They

both have magnificent swing, the rhythm is in-the-groove all the way and the solos, especially clarinet and trombone, are strictly up to par.

oh yes, I mean jazz, but note that this time it’s just the rhythm which is in the groove.

God is real.”

Get this Ngram, which shows that “He said that God was.” is only around twice as common as “He said that God is”.

nature.

In most usages, logic is an uncountable noun, so load logic could mean either one logical statement or many of them.

When in place you replace where with that or which you need to add the preposition of the word without replacing the word with the preposition. For example,

This is the company where he works,

becomes

This is the company that he works.

How do you figure out which preposition is correct? Make relative clause an example sentence. Do you know

whether you were there or

not? I must say the

right preposition is You were there. Yes, you didn t go to tell the story.

The proper grammar is thus

Maybe it was the kind of story (that) you had to be there for, where

the that is optional.
