I don't know either. It's why I have the spectacular editors of @isleofwrite . If they say it's okay, it's okay. English is not my first language, so I need all the editing help I can get.

I hesitated over that one (I'm an Isle of Write editor)
I'm a fan of dumping a, and, the, and stuff, whenever possible, and lately I've been reading way more poetry than usual.
The guidebook: If readers trip over it, maybe you should add the indefinite article to make it definitive. :)
Ok, I've decided: either it held different meanings, or it held a different meaning.
But "held different meaning" does sound unorthodox.
Good call, @evilist-fiend
