Grammar
It's nice of you to say.
sentence A - "It's nice of you to say."
sentence B - "That's nice of you to say"
Some argue that in sentence A, the subject 'It' is a preparatory one, which is replacing the real subject 'to say'.
If the argument is right, what's the difference between 'to say' in sentence A and 'to say' in sentence B?
