Many dictionaries are now accepting both... https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/above%2Fbeyond%20reproach https://www.collinsdictionary.com/amp/english/above-reproachMay I be as bold to point out that this is, as a matter of fact not so much an issue of grammar, but rather one of diction. Thereby winning the prize for taking a technicality and turning it into something worth hijacking a thread for. Edited May 9, 2021 by Sitting@89 DawieO 1

Pshhhh says the man who doesn't even know the expression is "may I be SO bold as to..." :-) You win the diction points though...although I would counter that Grammar Nazi is the accepted umbrella term for all errors whether spelling, grammar, diction or thread hijacking.

Turns out thoroughbreds are cyclists. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2021/05/09/sports/horse-racing/bob-baffert-kentucky-derby-medina-spirit-drug-test.amp.html Seems all their vices are versa.

TNT1 Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 PS: the doping sanction she received was for a diuretic that she was taking due to a vestibular issue she had recovered from.What? A diuretic increases urine production. The vestibular system includes the parts of the inner ear and brain that process the sensory information involved with controlling balance and eye movements. If disease or injury damages these processing areas, vestibular disorders can result. Why would you need to increase urine production for an inner ear problem? Jewbacca 1
