I feel slightly offended. Because it’s true.

(Alt text: “Do you feel like the answer depends on whether you’re currently in the hole, versus when you refer to the events later after you get out? Assuming you get out.”)

    If I was walking and stumbled into a hole: “fell in a hole”

    If I was climbing in/around the hole intentionally and stumbled: “fell down a hole”

    It all depends on how actively involved with the hole I was and if I knew of it’s existence.
