| Jul 12, 2014 at 17:52 | comment | added | StoneyB on hiatus | Is it possible that this is related to CGEL's distinction between fused relatives and interrogatives? | |
| Jul 12, 2014 at 15:13 | comment | added | StoneyB on hiatus | I would call your uses fused relatives, and I find this use common and acceptable (although I would agree with @ZhanlongZheng's comment). It is true however that how is almost never used as a bound relative, so CGEL may be defining fused relative more narrowly than I would. | |
