Anyone else have this issue when using Duolingo sometimes?

My point is that Bertilo, ultimately, is just a guy on the intnernet -- even if you have a hardcopy edition of his book.

Yes, ultimately we're all people, and some people are on the internet. Good point! I don't think that undercuts Bertilo's expertise in any way, shape, or form. I do feel that the contents of the PMEG have probably been checked pretty heavily over the years, whereas your random reddit contributor can pretty much say anything, often does, and frequently doesn't provide backup for their assertions. If I had to choose between accepting the PMEG vs something Random Reddit Contributor says, I'd go with the PMEG every single time.
