But maybe in any case we should be on the lookout for g-elision too?! That would add a layer of mess to things. You're right on about the grammar error in 您去过外国了吗？ One more reason never to use syz as a speech model .

I thought Verb+过 and 了 was mutually exclusive most of the time. By the way, shouldn’t it be 您去过外国吗？, without the 了? I thought Verb+过 and 了 was mutually exclusive most of the time.
