[Ads-l] _light on fire_ vs. _set on fire_

[Wilson Gray]

Speaking of "obsolete," I have the impression that _light on fire_ has
completely replaced the _set on fire_ of my lost youth.

BTW, has anyone else heard of the album, "Catch a Fire," by Bob Marley and
the Wailers? When I had only heard of it, I thought that the title was
"Catch Afire" and I still think that that's what it ought to be. <sigh!>
