I'm learning something here. Which is a little embarrassing and very exciting.
Can prepositions really be multiple words? Apparently yes. But what about the list of 52 prepositions that I've been looking at for years? Isn't that list definitive? Again, apparently not.

As the old French expression goes: Je dormirai moins bete ce soir! (i'll go to sleep less stupid tonight!)

Can such as be added to this list?
