to on the horns of a dilemma.

At COCA, only six of the 23 occurrences of on the horns of a dilemma are with forms of be. Six are with caught. To honor the flexibility of the use of this prepositional phrase, it should not be restricted and the citations and usage example to reflect the diversity. We could keep the redirect, and add one for caught on the horns of a dilemma. DCDuring TALK 23:53, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
