I haven't studied the technical rules much, but people use both forms interchangably. And of course the rules only exist to describe the way people talk.
I agree. What got me confused is that we say "pick the rag up" which make sense if you replace it with "pick IT up" instead of "pick up the rag" or "pick up it" (which I normally hear from my fellow countrymen here in the Philippines". Anyways, thank you very much and I hope you return safely from your voyage under the sea. Cheers!
Nice name you got there! And thanks for the response. I would just like to know, are both of them are correct in the standard english grammar? TIA
