A recent book review on Linguist List gave examples of idioms from the British corpus: 'take the plunge', 'see a point' and 'write a letter'. I gave no problems with the 1st and 3rd in my American English; however, I do not recall ever encountering the 2nd idiom: "see my/your/his/her/their point." I see no point; I do not see any point; I don't see the point. Is there a point to this .? The idiom "see a point" is not in my American English corpus of usage-nor do I recall reading it. N.
