The reciprocal is also true, and we can ALSO USE ALL-CAPS to say it, but
there's no point in having a shouting match about it. No one is saying
it's perfectly fine and normal; we're saying it doesn't seem to violate
any rules. I myself started by saying that I'd never seen such a
construction before. However, if I find that it would be useful to say
something, I'm going to use it.
For the record, I don't see anything "weird" about it. Unusual, yes, but
not weird. And not, apparently, ungrammatical.
