I won’t presume that this is not some new thing that canon suggests as correct,

You should have presumed that, because that's what it is.

Canonical examples:

*'awje' vItlhutlh; HIq vItlhutlh 'e' qa' */I drink root beer instead of liquor./

*jIQam; jIba' 'e' qa' */I stand instead of sitting./

I clearly can't English today. /I stand instead of sit./ -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
